I would like to congratulate you, Mrs. Avsharyan, and wish you successful and productive work, since it is very important for me that our students, after graduating from the University, not only have a good command of the peculiarities of their mother tongue, but also are able to communicate in at least two foreign languages. For all this, I am ready to continue supporting the Chair even more in order to solve all the problems,” noted Mr. Vardanyan.
