Alexey Lubkov, MPGU Rector and President of the Eurasian Association of Pedagogical Universities (EAPU), agreed with his Armenian counterpart that ASPU students are ‘the best.’ He added that they are also the most beautiful.
He wished the students success during the exams and festive mood during the upcoming holidays. “Today is a bright day. A memorandum of cooperation was signed between the two universities, which also refers to students. Maintain it and remember the most important thing – have faith, maintain friendship and be open to cooperation.”
Alexey Lubkov stressed in his speech that the doors of the educational institution that he heads are open to ASPU students.
