RA Ministry of Education and Science, ARCS sign agreement on cooperation

Armenian Deputy Minister of Education and Science Ara Avetisyan and Executive Director of the Armenian Red Cross Society Anna Yeghiazaryan signed an agreement on cooperation on June 4.

“For a long time, we have been cooperating with the Armenian Red Cross Society on numerous issues, which emerge as a result of unfavorable historical and natural conditions,” said Ara Avetisyan.

He added that the Ministry and ARCS are jointly developing several projects for natural disasters and first aid management as well as combating trafficking.

“Our primary goal is to increase young generation’s awareness concerning behavior in different situations, for example, in case of natural disasters. To this end, we will publish relevant materials and will conduct lessons in educational institutions,” Anna Yeghiazaryan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
