YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 23, ARMENPRESS: Armenia’s Youth Party is planning
to organize visits of Armenian young people to Nagorno Karabakh. The
leader of the party Vahan Babayan said today at a press conference
that the goal of the initiative is to introduce to the young people
the cultural centers of Artsakh: the visits will be of familiarizing
and upbringing nature.
"We want young people of Armenia to know the place of Artsakh not
only in a map. Besides cultural centers, we will also visit military
divisions," V. Babayan said. According to him, initially visits with
small groups were intended to be organized but so many applications
have been received that it has been decided to extend the circles of
the program.
V. Babayan said that young people from non-governmental organizations,
youth organizations, higher educational establishments applied for
participation in the program. He also said that financial means
are necessary for involving all those who want to participate in
the program and that is why the party is going to apply to 300 big
companies. The leader of the party said he is sure the Armenian
businessmen will respond to their request.
The party will not be limited by this initiative only. In summer
2009 it is expected to organize gatherings in Karabakh with
the participation of young people not only from Armenia but also
Diaspora. V. Babayan said that such like visits will also be organized
to Javakhq.
