FOUR MILLION AMD FROM STATE BUDGET TO BE SPENT
Support A1+!Four million AMD from the state budget will be allocated to a number of young people to organize a “tour” round Armenia.
The money squandering in this way is determined by the fact that the young generation of Armenia is unaware of its country’s history. NGOs “Areg” and “Centre of Social Technologies” assume that they may sow love and respect towards 15-year-old Armenia by presenting its history. In this respect they initiated the program “Generation of Independence.”
“Our task is to give the youth an opportunity to acknowledge the country and to make suggestions for the country’s future well-being. There are places I don’t know myself and I am looking forward to those visits,” said Gerasim Barseghyan, head of the scientific-cultural youth association “Areg” during the meeting with journalists.
During their first tour, on September 16, they intend to visit Noravank, Tatev, Noraduz. Each group will comprise of 30 people. The participants will be mainly students. The students’ boards of higher educational institutions will decide which students to include in the groups. The initiators and participants of the tour are convinced that it will contribute to the recognition of our homeland and its historical background.
