“We highly praise our cooperation and we’re glad to implement such joint projects. This will greatly help the young people to get involved into the UNO activities and to soundly develop,” the University’s Vice Chancellor on Science and Postgraduate Education, Candidate of Legal Sciences, Associate Professor Ara Yeremyan mentioned.
Moreover, the latter is assured that this cooperation will give them an opportunity to arrange debates, researches, and to develop common projects aimed at strengthening the European values.
Likewise, the UNO representative of the Department of Public Information Maria Docenko also assured that the knowledge of Spanish will open a new frontier for Armenians towards the Spanish-language culture, thus helping them to become the World citizens.
“We live in a Multilanguage World, where the languages in which we communicate, read or write, affect our thinking or actions. And these languages in their turn help to emphasize the significance of the UNO Multilanguage system in stimulating the peace, diversity and intercultural dialogues for the implementation of its populous agenda”.

The Ambassador of the Republic of Argentine Diego Ernesto Alvarez Rivera, as well as the UNO Armenian office employees, international organization representatives, students and lecturers were all present on this occasion.
