"Your pedagogical skills and creativity promote artistic development among young people. Many of your students are already on the way of creating artworks. They study in different professional educational institutions of the country, regularly participate in national and international exhibitions. This is the important mission of an educator," Mr. Hakobyan said addressing Nonna Davtyan wishing her years of tireless work for the benefit of the young generation and Armenian culture.
