While studying the field, we noticed that we have a very good educational facility in Shushi.
We started to look for new partners for implementing the program. Sevan Torosian responded and at this moment we can state that in the next academic year 10 students will be provided with a scholarship. With their professions they will find their place in the labor market, “said A. Haroutyunian.
