ARMENIAN YOUTH SHOULD GET MORE ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN POLITICAL DECISION MAKING

YEREVAN, JUNE 17. ARMINFO. The Armenian youth should get more actively
involved in political decision making, Armenia’s Deputy Culture and
Youth Minister Lilit Asatryan said during the republican youth forum
“Youth: Reality and Prospects” today.

Attending the forum are also young people from Karabakh and Javakhq
(Georgia) and representatives of international organizations working
in Armenia.

Asatryan said that the forum is aimed not only to make the
Armenian youth politically more active but also to solve their key
social-economic problems – employment and housing.

Over 50 reports on the youth’s health care, religious and other
problems are to be made during the forum.

The Javakhq representatives say that their key problem is employment
and the acknowledgement of Armenian diplomas in Georgia – presently
those with Armenian diplomas should get permission from the Georgian
authorities to qualify for a job. This is leading to low education
level in the region for many young people especially girls prefer
marrying to entering a university in Armenia.

An exhibition of applied arts and printing materials is also to be
held in the framework of the forum.

There are over 800,000 young people (16-30) in Armenia.
