Welcoming the attendees, the NA President has noted that there are young people in the RPA, who today have serious role in the political life, legislative and executive bodies of our country. “The young people should be able not only to become idea bearers, but also direct a whole nation with the ideas,” Mr Sahakyan said. He advised the young people not to be led with party interests. “It will be much better to have your relations with the young people of other parties at necessary high level. We should move with the interests of the nation, the political forces should only be a means for the goals, and our goals are rather serious. We fight for the eternity of the nation and the state, having the party as a means for serving to it. You should be able to actively pave your way.

Touching upon the issue of the announcement of the President of Kazakhstan during the sitting of the Supreme Council of the Eurasian Economic Union in Astana, the NA president noticed that we should differentiate the diplomatic and public announcements made with certain purposes from the very negotiations.

The Head of the parliament has stressed that  Nagorno Karabakh is the most important issue of our country. “Nagorno Karabakh is in one customs and economic territory with Armenia, and I would like once again to underline that there is no item of borders in the agenda of the Eurasian Economic Union. I would also like to remind you that the Eurasian Economic Union is based on the mutually beneficial cooperation,” Galust Sahakyan said.
