On August 24, President Serzh Sargsyan visited the tent camp of
“Together 2014” pan-Armenian educational forum, organized by
“Together” youth movement on the territory of Sevan National Park,
President’s Press Office reported.

Held for the sixth consecutive year now, this year the camp was
attended by 500 young people from Yerevan and the provinces. The
President toured the camp, talking to the participants to learn of
their daily routine, living conditions and the events held so far.

The President was informed that the campers have developed a hectic
and exciting agenda, with daily lectures held on various topics,
different public figures hosted, sports competitions organized and so
on.

Serzh Sargsyan answered several questions asked by the campers, which
related to our country’s foreign policy, present challenges, youth
affairs, national defense and a number of other issues. In particular,
concerning Armenia-Turkey relations and Yerevan’s official position on
the question at issue, the President said that the Turkish government
has invited Armenia to attend the President-elect’s inauguration
ceremony, and that most probably our country will participate at the
level of its Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Serzh Sargsyan also said that the Foreign Minister will be informed
whether the new President of Turkey is going to visit the
Tsitsernakaberd memorial during the upcoming commemorations of the
centennial anniversary of the Armenian Genocide on April 24, 2015, and
see first hand the Eternal Flame-bound vast human procession, which
has been growing in intensity over many decades.

As to when the Armenian-Turkish border will be opened, the President
said it was hard tell, though he stressed that Armenia’s desire is to
see it open as soon as possible.
