State awards ceremony 2015 of Republic of Armenia takes place at Presidential Residency

State awards ceremony 2015 of Republic of Armenia takes place at Presidential Residency

YEREVAN, JANUARY 20, ARMENPRESS.  By the decree of the President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan, State Awards 2015 of the Republic of Armenia have been bestowed in a number of spheres. As “Armenpress” was informed from the Department of Public Relations and Mass Media of Republic of Armenia President’s Staff, solemn awarding ceremony took place at the President’s Residency on January 20.

State Awards 2015 were bestowed in the spheres of literature, culture, architecture and urban planning, exact and natural sciences.

After the award ceremony, the President of the Republic gave a congratulatory speech adressed to all the participants,

“Honorable ladies and gentleman, guests,

Today we award artists and scientists with State Awards of the Republic of Armenia.

I am convinced that new scientific achievements or artistic pieces receive their real assessment later, when they pass the test of time. It does not mean that we have to wait for hundred or two hundred years and only then assess who has done what. I am also convinced that contemporaries have responsibility before creators and inventors. We have the responsibility to voice what is valuable for us and what is valueless.   This is a binding method and condition for reconfirming the value system of the public and the state. I see the logic of the State Awards of the Republic of Armenia precisely in that context. We indicate, attach importance to, and demonstrate for the public what is worth appraisal today and here.

Dear present,

This year we have nominations in relations to which I, of course, have dual feelings. On the one hand, I am sad for, say, we have no awards in the spheres of theater, fine arts, humanities and social sciences, on the other hand, I am happy that respective commissions displayed rigor, because if we level down the criteria, we will just devaluate our State Awards. I encourage and foster those members and presidents of commissions where we have no awardees, to continue in the same spirit. I hope that in those nominations we will have really deserving candidates in the coming years.

Dear laureates,

I express gratitude to you for your valuable work and once again congratulate you on deserving these honorable prizes. I wish you new scientific and artistic achievements, for the sake of our country, its science and culture.

Thank you”.
