On June 13, "Youth, Reality and Prospects" second international
conference launched in Armenia. Over 80 NGOs from Armenia, NKR and
Javakhk, as well as representatives of RA state management bodies
participate in the conference. It is planned that a unique "National
Report" will be discussed and adopted at the conference. The report
is elaborated by the Armenian youth organizations, state officials,
and representatives of the international organizations functioning
in Armenia.
Armen Soghomonian, head of Youth Policy Department at RA Culture
Ministry, said that the main problems of the youth will be represented
in the report. He said that the most urgent issue is the employment
of the young people. "The Armenian youth wants to stay and work in
Armenia, and I think that their greater part is quite optimistic for
their future and the prospects of realizing their plans in Armenia,"
Soghomonian said. He emphasized that the specialists of the Youth
Direction of Council of Europe are interested in this report and
they paid working visits to Armenia for several times during its
elaboration. "We plan to elaborate a long term strategy after the
adoption of the report. The strategy will represent the concrete
actions of the government for the settlement of the problems of the
Armenian youth," Soghomonian said.
