Dear friends,
The Alma Mater of Artsakh celebrates its 40th anniversary. It is a holiday for our entire people and the whole republic because during all these years the university was among the most important centers of preserving national identity and was standing at the origins of the liberation struggle.
In 1992 as a result of implemented reforms the establishment was given the status of university, which had not only scientific and educational importance for our young independent republic but also political ones.
Nowadays, Artsakh State University as one of the key educational establishments of our country is still playing a role in a hard process of educating younger generation and preparing cadres as well as in a state building process.
In the current situation the university faces new and various challenges that require persistent, purposeful and regular work on a daily basis. It is important deepen and enlarge ties with universities in Armenia and other countries, use every single opportunity to secure continuous development and improvement.
Our goal is to have a modern and competitive educational center meeting international standards. The administration of the university with the support of the state should do everything possible to achieve it.
I congratulate once more all the students, the alumni and the university staff on the anniversary and wish you good health, happiness and all the best.
