I find that the foundation must work harmoniously with the ongoing changes in the country. We are implementing a program, according to which all young people [male] studying in universities should either service in the military during [their studies], or serve as officers for a certain period after graduating. We want the foundation’s graduates to more effectively participate in the development of the country”, the president said.
