Serzh Sargsyan: I speak of Armenian pupils’ success with same pride as I speak of Armenian army 
and achievements of Armenian chess players

YEREVAN, AUGUST 27, ARMENPRESS. On August 27 President Serzh Sargsyan visited graduates with high level of academic performance who won medals at general education institutions, as well as students from the city and the regions who were successful at school Olympiads in 2015, and the winners of “Kangaroo” international mathematical competition and “Meghu” Armenian language contest.

 During the traditional meeting the winners received their awards: medals, certificates and presents from the President of the Republic of Armenia.

“Armenpress” was informed from the Department of Public Relations and Mass Media of the Office to the President that the President greeted the participants of the meeting in his residence, congratulated and thanked them for victories worthy of praise. Serzh Sargsyan referred with satisfaction to the results of our schoolchildren in the current academic year.

“I cordially confess that even if we had not won any medals in the science Olympiads we would still be satisfied that our students participate in Olympiads but the result are really magnificent: our students returned from Olympiads with 20 medals – 5 silver and 15 bronze. I don’t want to compare our children’s achievements with our near and far neighbors’. I used to do it but now I am firmly convinced that we don’t concede to anyone; more precisely we concede but only in number, and in the field of knowledge, education, diligence we are not inferior at all and will not be.  

Certainly it is gratifying that these results are stable and nobody can state that these results are accidental.  Armenian schoolchildren have participated in science Olympiads since 1993 and we have had progress every year. But the results of the last 4 years confirm that definitely stability exists and these results are not accidental, but are a result of hard but necessary reforms, the improvement of our teachers’ and parents’ work. There can be no doubt in that reference.  

Dear pupils, dear young people, dear children, be confident that the Republic of Armenia will spare no effort so that you can get knowledge, improve yourself, enrich your  knowledge store and become good specialists, good citizens of the Republic of Armenia, good persons.”

I want to share a secret with you: during my meetings with high ranking officials, foreign states and famous people there is often a need of presenting our nation, our country in a way so that the interlocutor gets a permanent impression. Believe me I always give as an example the achievements of our schoolchildren in Olympiads. I speak of it with the same pride as I speak of the Armenian Army and the achievements of Armenian chess players.  

I urge you to be optimistic. I am sure that you will return to this hall, I am sure you will develop this first success of yours. There are all the necessary conditions. Knowledge is a benefit and that benefit must serve kind deeds.

I thank all of you. Once again, thank you.”, said Serzh Sargsyan in his welcoming speech.
