The Prime Minister elected honorary chairman of volleyball federation
Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan attended today the expanded session of the presidium of AVF
As suggested by AVF president-elect Surik Khachatryan and federation members, the head of government was elected to be honorary chairman of the federation.
Appreciative of the work of Armenian sports unions, the Prime Minister noted in particular: “Sport should play a key role in public life as healthy way of life would have been impossible without it. I hope that the federation will contribute to the development of volleyball in Armenia. An action plan has to be worked out to this end so that sports events could be held anywhere nationwide. Volleyball has serious development potential in our country, and we can promote interest and thoughtfulness of this game.”
Following approval of statute amendments, the meeting exchanged views on organizational questions.
