“Baze-2012” Tenth Annual Youth Camp Launches in Tsakhkadzor
Prime Minster Tigran Sargsyan participated in the opening ceremony of “Baze-2012” 10th annual youth camp, organized by the Armenian Youth Foundation. Over 400 young people aged 18-30 from Armenia, Nagorno Karabakh, Javakhk and Diaspora are attending the camp.
Welcoming the participants of “Baze-2012” and congratulating the 10th anniversary of “Baze” on behalf of the RA Government, Prime Minister said: “The activities of the movement during the last ten years have been in the center of our attention, because this is a unique tool, which gives an opportunity to bring together the youth. There have been numerous new interesting initiatives due to the movement. Today we pay great attention to these initiatives when implementing youth politics. To promote the further creation of such initiatives, we need a platform where young people can gather, organize discussions of variety of issues and create a proximate atmosphere and environment. I am sure that it doesn’t just give its positive results today, but it also forms a sense of patriotism and an important potential of accumulation of self-organization, which will essentially help and assist you in the future. I congratulate us all on the 10th anniversary of the movement and wish that you come up with new initiatives during these wonderful days and leave the camp stimulated. I am convinced that you will be able to transfer that stimulus to our nation and society.”
Tigran Sargsyan donated blood for already the fifth time during the “Voluntary Blood Donation Campaign” organized by the Armenian Youth Foundation and “25 Club” and afterwards, attended the “Brain-Ring” competition. The Prime Minister was accompanied by the Mayor of Yerevan Taron Margaryan and Governor of Kotayk region Kovalenko Shahgeldyan.
During the ten years, over 8000 young people participated in “Baze-2012” youth camp. This year, for the first time, young people from regional universities and vocational training institutions were also included in the camp. The participants will come together under the colors of Armenian flag, and will compete in various games, sports, cultural and intellectual competitions, as well as meet state, political and public figures of Armenia.
