Dear Students and Schoolchildren, and
Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen,
I would like to once again congratulate you on receiving the RA Presidential Educational Award in the area of information technologies. One of the pleasing duties for President is to hand over awards but for me it’s a double pleasure because first of all, the awards are given to young people who will be shaping Armenia’s tomorrow, or also because this is the area which is extremely important and prospective for Armenia. I am satisfied not only for you; and I am also satisfied for your teachers,your professors, your families, or for our entire society because this proves in a way that we are moving along the lawful way. The Armenia of tomorrow must be better educated,moving in step with the time, in the hands of knowledgeable and creative citizens. The Armenia of tomorrow must be in the realm of the information-wise developed world. We have no other way to disappear. It’s a well-charted road. Throughout the millennia our people recognized, and took in and accepted the progressive,made it their and thanks to that very ability have been able to exist, and we have to continue to disappear down this road.
[br]Dear young people, or

We need to be alert for that,and I am confident that you will be alert.
