Tigran Sargsyan on "closed borders"
Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan participated in the opening of a conference entitled "Regulation of Closed Borders in Contemporary International Law" held at the sessions hall of the RA Government.
The conference was organized by the Center for International and Comparative Law NGO.
Greeting the participants of the conference, the PM expressed satisfaction with the newly created center's activities, which, according to Sargsyan, serve for the creation of an atmosphere encouraging youth to conduct research. "The center has selected current and very important issues for discussions. Those issues are not only significant in terms of theory, but also in terms of applied politics. Those issues are related to the Armenian Genocide, the presence of closed borders in today's world and the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, particularly the legal aspects that are related to the principle of self-determination. We are seeing new approaches in contemporary jurisprudence regarding these issues, and it is very important to follow the new flows, hold debates and conduct research," said the head of government.
Mentioning that the change of generation is an important phenomenon in research, Tigran Sargsyan said the youth aren't constraint with age-old thinking and can look at today's events in new ways, sometimes from unexpected angles and set forth new hypotheses that can go on to be proved and become the most important theories. "From that angle, you have an exclusive opportunity because the center has selected the most important targets that are more than theoretical for citizens of Armenia. You are involved in those issues on a daily basis and you see how separate, important they are, as well as the perception of the society. All that gives you the opportunity to create, to deeply realize the ways of solving these issues," Tigran Sargsyan mentioned in his speech at the conference.
The goal of the conference is to identify the key issues in modern foreign policy for Armenia and analyze them from the legal angle.
