RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan called at an all-republican exposition organized in the National Esthetics Center, entitled “I am the citizen of a rule-of-law State.”
The exposition was preceded by a nationwide contest involving schoolchildren from all marzes of Armenia. They have tried to represent their vision of the phenomenon of cash-registers by means of oil paintings and show which way the citizens can defend their rights. Two works were awarded the chief prize and 5 others won minor prizes.
“Fostering a citizen of the Republic of Armenia is a highly responsible task. This process has its source at school, when children feel themselves as citizens and masters in homeland, realize the way the State is organized and revenue is collected. Today’s function has an educational dimension as well considering that the principles of and the ways to having a powerful State are being shaped in our children by means of games.”
