Ruzan Sadoyan, Dean of the Faculty of Biology, Chemistry, notes that the Faculty has 85 years of history. great devotees of science and education have taught there. She adds that that although different structural changes have been made at the Faculty, it has rich traditions that are preserved to this day.

Educator’s mission includes a responsibility not only for the formation and development of a specialist, but also for the future of generations, the state, and the nation," she said.
Professor Tangamyan, who has spent 60 years of his life at the Pedagogical University, says the rise of the University since his student years is obvious. He says that he has many awards, but today's award is different and the highest among the others.

He regrets to say that the field of natural science is neglected today, and a scientist’s status in biology is no longer attractive. Anyway, he hopes that thanks to the devotees of the sphere and with state support, it will be possible to restore the former glory of science: this is also a matter of national security.
