The scientific and educational session "Humanitarian cooperation between Russia and Armenia: directions and prospects of development" took place at the Russian-Armenian University on November 6. 

As part of the session, a round table was held, at which leading experts of RAU and RSUH made presentations.

RAU rector Edward Sandoyan welcomed the guests and participants of the event, noting: "The issue of the future of our generation is very important and complex. Surprisingly; many young people now do not know about those who formed our history and unity. We must find modern mechanisms for transmitting this information to young people, and use modern technologies to make it more accessible to them."

In his turn, the Vice-Rector for Science of RAU Pargev Avetisyan emphasized that the Russian State University for the Humanities is one of the leading universities in Russia, where social and humanitarian thought is actively developing not only in the implementation of projects and various programs, but also in the development of new concepts and approaches to interaction within the framework of humanitarian cooperation in the CIS.

The scientific director of the RSUH, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Historical Sciences, professor Efim Pivovar, who opened the round table, spoke about the main directions and prospects of humanitarian cooperation of the CIS countries.

"We will actively develop international scientific cooperation, which implies not only bilateral relations, but also broader interaction, including the CIS, SCO and BRICS formats. Thus, our cooperation in the field of science and education has great potential and significant prospects, and I am confident that together we can achieve better results," Pivovar emphasized.

During the round table, professors and lecturers of RAU and RSUH discussed the issues of studying the common past of Russia and Armenia and its interpretation, the role of Eurasian integration in the context of modern international processes, the development of scientific and media diplomacy, the position of the Russian language in the Republic of Armenia, and literary translation as  key factors in humanitarian cooperation.

The event was organized by the Russian State University for the Humanities, the Russian-Armenian University and the B. Piotrovsky Center for Eurasian Studies of the RAU-RSUH . The session was held with the support of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation.
