Expressing gratitude for the cordial reception, Armen Orujyan stressed that he had visited Armenia a decade ago and that a lot had changed since then. “I visited Ayb School, TUMO Center for Creative Technologies, the school in Dilijan, and I am very impressed. I believe the world can learn from Armenia. Our country must grow and become strong, especially in the field of innovative information technologies, and the purpose of my visit is to examine the opportunities for that. I consider Artsakh a part of Armenia, and I do everything I can for Armenia, including Artsakh. Los Angeles is the place where I live, and I love it, but Armenia is the place where my soul lives.”
