Dear colleagues and students,

Trying to summarize the passing year, we will state that humanity faced unexpected complications due to the coronavirus epidemic, which changed the "organization and implementation of work activities and the course of life" for all of us. And while we, along with the world, were facing the epidemic, equipping our staff and our logistical capabilities, a war broke out in our country, to which our educational complex was not left untouched. From the first day, some of our employees joined the defense of the homeland, and the entire staff and students joined numerous and various social assistance initiatives. Social programs implemented by us before, continue to be implemented now as well. As we give importance to corporate social responsibility, we have already donated about 7 million AMD to the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund through the joint efforts of staff and students, we have also joined Insurance Foundation for Servicemen to support the soldiers and their families who died and became disabled during the war, within one year our complex will donate about 2.4 million AMD to the foundation, and we organized free education for 16 students deported from Artsakh. Just as last year on New Year we organized a charity exhibition-sale the proceeds of which were directed to one of the border villages of Tavush region, this year an exhibition-sale was organized as well, the proceeds of which will be directed to Syunik.

The educational complex carried out its activity along with all this, having achievements and difficulties. Due to the pandemic, we shifted to online learning which was unprecedented in our educational environment, and all efforts were made very quickly to implement and effectively use educational information tools. Having the uninterrupted and effective implementation of the educational process as a basis, we were able to give scholarships to stimulate students, train staff, and record good results in all areas. I believe that all our initiatives will succeed with joint efforts, honest work, and professionalism.

The passing 2020 is one of the catastrophic pages in the history of our people against which we must fight only by building a powerful homeland. It is with this aspiration that we enter a new year with new expectations and visions of a bright future. Let the coming year and all subsequent years be years of growth and achievement.

I wish you and your families happiness, peace, love, and achievements in new 2021. I wish you fruitful activity for the benefit of your family, our complex, and our country.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
