The sooner Armenian and Georgian nations are able to attain their goals, the sooner security of Armenia and Georgia is achieved, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said in Yerevan.

Speaking at a closing ceremony of Armenian-Georgian mathematics, physics and informatics competitions, President stressed that the Armenian-Georgian friendship started long ago and presently two nations should preserve it to be inherited by further generations. However, President Sargsyan noted that two nations have been competing with each other in culture, science and education, but never rose in arms.

He said that considers President Saakashvili’s biography an example for young people. “President Saakashvili got his PhD degree when he was 28, and became a president when he was only 36. It indicates that person can always achieve his goals,” he said addressing Armenian and Georgian children. The Armenian leader urged young generation to draw up plans for the future not forgetting about Armenian-Georgian friendship which is valuable for the entire region.

President Sargsyan also promised to provide Georgian students with an opportunity to study in Armenia.
