In his welcoming words to the guests of the celebration, Ambassador Anastasov noted that children are the future of Armenia, their dreams, talents and ideas carry the power to change the world. The ambassador emphasized that on the first of June it is very important to tell the children how special they are to us and how proud we are of them.
