World must recognize Armenia: President Sarkissian
We are part of the world and if the world discusses its issues, Armenia being part of this world must first of all realize what is going on in the world, Armenia’s President Armen Sarkissian told the reporters after opening of Summit of Minds.
“If we want to move forward, and we really want it, we must understand what is going on in the world. If we want our country to progress and be very good one in 20-30 years we must realize where the world will be in 20-30 years. For realizing and understanding it such conferences are very important,” the president said.
Armen Sarkissian said it is essential for the world to recognize Armenia.
“My goal is conduction of this conference every year, though it will be very difficult. It is difficult to persuade and bring them to Armenia, but I have few secret forms of persuasion,” the president joked.
Armen Sarkissian at the same stressed that the beautiful side of the conference is that the guests will speak about all topics, starting from geopolitical developments, new technology, artificial mind and culture.
As to the comment of one of the reporters that the president seems to move with his separate agenda from the government, the president said, “It is your personal opinion.”
