Dear Youth,
On behalf of the Government of the Republic of Armenia and myself, I warmly greet you and congratulate on the start of this year’s gathering.
“Baze” youth camp is based on the noble idea of holy triple union of the Armenian nation, which implies promoting patriotism through cohesion, preserving traditions, identifying and developing young people’s skills.
Throughout its 12 years-long history, “Baze” has managed to bring together over 8,000 young people from Armenia, Artsakh and the Diaspora, growing into a youth movement of its own kind. I would like to extend my highest appreciation to all participants, organizers and initiators.
Committed to our grandfathers’ behests, the generation of independence has been the driving force of society. You are strengthening our statehood, and you are promoting Armenia’s international prestige.
What matters most is that you are doing it with a keen sense of national identity and with a high spirit of patriotism. A vivid proof of it was our soldiers’ response to the enemy’s provocations in the frontline a few days ago. Today, I can state with all confidence that our country’s future is in reliable hands.
Dear Youth,
Youth issues are kept in spotlight by the government, since our national projects are based on your creative power. You may rest assured that the government of Armenia will henceforth spare no effort to provide all conditions necessary for comprehensive youth development.
Reiterating my congratulations, I wish you a lot of happiness, well-being and new achievements.
