Among attendees of the meeting was also Vice Speaker, Chairman of the SEUA Council and a SEUA graduate Samvel Nikoyan. He said that “the SEUA has a perfect background for mastering the students.”

“Whatever you do and wherever you work after graduating the SEUA, just remember that you received here important knowledge and skills, and first of all, the algorithm of thinking and actions, an engineering thinking,” he said in his speech.

Samvel Nikoyan told media that may be today the values in Armenia are not highlighting knowledge as the condition of a high-priority that can contribute to a self-realization. “However, I hope that we are nearing the day when knowledge will become a priority to any person, and will help to reach success,” said politician.
