On December 18 RA NA Speaker, President of the Scientific Council of the Armenian State University of Economics (ASUE) Mr. Hovik Abrahamyan participated at the solemn ceremony of opening of the University hall of ASUE.
The building of the higher educational institution was constructed by the design of the well-known architect Alexander Tamanyan in 1929. The University hall was repaired by the financial means of the higher educational institution, and it fully corresponds with the modern requirements. The ellipse formed structure of the hall with 256 seats has been restored.
The honor of opening was given to RA NA Speaker, former graduate of the higher educational institution Mr. Hovik Abrahamyan.
His Eminence Archbishop Navasard Kchoyan, Vicar General of the Araratian Patriarchal Diocese conducted the Blessing of the big hall.
RA NA Speaker Mr. Hovik Abrahamyan in his speech congratulated the professors and lecturers and students on the occasion of the opening of the University hall and said:
“Dear lecturers,
Dear students,
You Eminence,
Dear guests,
The appeal passing from generation to generation in the reality of Armenia to study well today is of current concern too. I am sure that it will never lose its value and importance. In the conditions of the rapidly developing world we shall walk at a pace of time: learning the newest achievements of the science, serving them for the sake of our people and our country.
The Armenian authorities consider their most important priority science and education. Knowledge is the superior direction and high value of the survival and development of our nation. The high level of the population is the most important component of our human capital, which by its diverse influence will predetermine the future of Armenia in the world economic system.
I am sure that all those in this hall realize all this. I am convinced that with that conscience the coming year 2010 will be the year of new scientific achievements.
I also wish to hear proposals, questions, which interest our colleagues, our students, our professors and lecturers. Dear Suvaryan, I am ready to discuss now those issues that I have always discussed and formulate concrete proposals and we’ll find the ways of their solution.
Thank you.”
NA Speaker Mr. Hovik Abrahamyan also answered the questions of the members of the scientific council of the higher educational institution. We’ll note that in connection with the raised questions the Chairman of the NA Standing Committee on Science, Education, Culture, Youth and Sport Mr. Artak Davtyan and Minister of Science and Education Mr. Armen Ashotyan also made clarification on these raised issues.
