President Sarkissian meets with graduates of class 2018 of Leadership School

Today, President of Armenia Armen Sarkissian met with graduates of class 2018 of the Leadership School.

The students had a frank conversation with the president, and discussed prospects of the country’s development, existing challenges, issues concerning the Diaspora and much more.

Sarkissian said that having a vision of development of the state is very significant. “We must develop not only our vision, but also understand in which direction and in what way will the world develop in the future 20-30 years, and where will we stand in this process. In line with the vision, we must have a plan which will clearly mention the areas providing progress, and we must maximally encourage the development of these areas,” the president said.

Sarkissian emphasized the role of the younger generation as leaders of tomorrow, and attached importance to their potential, urging the youth to have active participation in the development of the country.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
