In addition, the latter congratulated the heroes of the day in the name of the Government and the University Board and mentioned, “ Dear current and future pedagogues, this is a historical day for all of you as you are awarded the proofs of your knowledge that you are able to pass to the following generations. For ages, the teacher has been the most significant guarantee for the survival and the reinforcement of our nation. You are bearing a heavy but a pleasant and sacramental title of a teacher; it is indeed hard to imagine a more complicated task than to be a teacher and to educate the following generations. Are you, graduates, ready to take up the essential and honest task of educating the future generation of independent Armenia?”
