The Senator’s vision regarding this Institute is the best testimony of his selfless dedication to public service and urge to strengthen within the society trust toward political institutions, and Senate in particular. Institutions such as this one, produce generation with high civil conscience, including future leaders,” reads the inscription of the President of Armenia.
