of human rights education.

her speech, Ms. Anahit Manasyan emphasized the importance of such meetings,
highlighting the fundamental principles of human rights: tolerance, the human
being as the highest value, and the guarantee of dignity.
"It
is extremely important for schoolchildren to take an interest in the field of
human rights protection. A proper understanding of the law helps foster a
tolerant and non-discriminatory environment. It is the state's duty to provide
structures that guarantee the protection of human rights and to consistently
develop them, based on the supremacy of the law and human-centered values,"
