YEREVAN, JANUARY 19, ARMENPRESS: President of Armenian Republic,
President of Armenian Chess Federation Serzh Sargsyan on January 19
participated in the Presidential Board Meeting of World Chess
Federation (FIDE) scheduled for January 18-21, in Tsakhkadzor. FIDE
President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, 23 FIDE members and representatives of
chess federation of more than 20 countries participated in the
meeting. As Armenpress was informed from presidential press office,
Serzh Sargsyan presented a greeting speech.
`Dear Mr. Ilyumzhinov, members of FIDE Presidential Board, ladies and gentlemen,
I am happy to welcome you in one of the best tourism centers of
Armenia, in Tsakhkadzor. On behalf of our nation, I am glad to say,
welcome to Armenia.
Year after year Armenia has presented its love and devotion towards
chess. Our national chess team, which presented Armenia in different
tournaments, consists of real stars. Armenian football players try to
reach the level of Armenian chess players. Our chess players are good
example for our children, who learn the principals of this wise game
in schools.
Chess is a game, but art and science as well. It teaches the culture
of idea and long-term calculation. It demands to respect the partner.
Finally, chess is a common language and culture for millions of
people, despite nation, language, religion and skin color. That is why
we pay such a great attention to it already in our schools.
Chess is one of the best ways of cultural and civilization dialogues.
Taking the opportunity, I would like to express my gratitude to FIDE
for efficient cooperation and personally to Mr. Ilyumzhinov and
members of FIDE Presidential Board.
We are deeply satisfied with our cooperation with FIDE. I sincerely
want to continue and deepen it. I would like to express my
thankfulness to all of You for accepting the invitation and visiting
Armenia. We are ready to create the best working conditions for You'.
