ArmInfo.Citizens of Armenia should be proficient in several foreign languages and in this series the role of the Russian language is important and exceptional. This  opinion was expressed by Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan on  July 2 at the ceremony of awarding diplomas to the first graduates of  the Branch of Lomonosov Moscow State University in Yerevan.

According to the prime minister, the existence of a university of a  similar level in the country is, first of all, an opportunity to join  the vast experience and knowledge. <The presence of the University of  this level in Armenia is fully consistent with our ideas about the  future development of the country. We are confident that all the  existing tasks in the RA have one solution - this is knowledge, and  such universities bring a great deal of experience to the country and  give us an exceptional opportunity to use it, "he said.

Nikol Pashinyan thanked the government of the Russian Federation for  assistance in opening the university.  "Such universities allow us to  expand our worldview," he stressed. Noting the important role of the  Russian language, the head of the Armenian government stressed that  the mission of the Branch, among other things, is to create a new  platform for the dissemination of the language.

According to the Prime Minister, it is very symbolic that the first  graduates receive their diplomas in <new Armenia>. "The changes that  took place in Armenia became a reality, including with your help,"  the head of the Cabinet said, addressing graduates. At the same time,  Pashinyan expressed confidence that today's bachelors will contribute  to the further development of Armenian-Russian relations, which both  had and continue to be of strategic importance. "I'm sure that the  future of Armenia depends on one person and this person can be every  one of you," concluded Nikol Pashinyan.
