Nikol Pashinyan: Current situation in history classes in Armenia is a  serious issue to the preservation of our statehood

ArmInfo. What is happening in history classes in Armenia is a significant issue that threatens the future of our statehood. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan expressed a similar opinion during a meeting with students at Heratsi High School on September 2.  

"Here we, as a nation, as a state, must answer the question - what is the Republic of Armenia for? Is it a springboard that will allow us to have a larger homeland, or is it to ensure the well-being of our citizens, which also implies justice, security, legality, the right to be happy, all of which we must ensure as a state," the head of government said.  He also noted in this regard that the activities of all state institutions should align with this logic, as it is the demand of the people of Armenia. According to Pashinyan,  the people desire to see Armenia as a safe, free and prosperous place to live. "And we are obliged to ensure this, and we will do so," he emphasized.

The Prime Minister also added that it is necessary to work on reducing pathos in our schools. In particular, he called pathos a tool that is used to conceal one's ignorance. "And here we must understand that our ignorance is the most powerful tool that the enemy can use against us," Pashinyan emphasized.  To note that the head of government also attended the opening of a new school in the border town of Kirants. Due to the delimitation and demarcation of the border, the educational institution ended up in close proximity to the border. Video footage distributed by Armenian media, shows that after the opening ceremony of the school, Pashinyan held a closed meeting with the students of Kirants.
