According to Avagyan, Baze 2010 proved to be a large scale event, bringing together 3000 participants from Armenia, Artsakh and Diaspora. “Over 2002-2010, Baze hosted 6000 young people aged 18-30. Baze is an opportunity to show one’s qualities at best. Many young people, who excelled in sports and culture, are sure to gain more popularity after completion of the youth meeting,” he pointed out. Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan will participate in Baze 2010 closing ceremony.
