The president highlighted the importance of cooperation between Tennis Europe and the Tennis Federation of Armenia, stressing that it contributes to the development of tennis in the country, its wider promotion, and increased interest in the sport, particularly among children and young people.

Khachaturyan noted that the Armenian government places a high priority on the development of sports and expanding youth participation. To achieve this goal, the state has been consistently implementing measures aimed at improving sports infrastructure, including the construction and modernization of gymnasiums and sports complexes in schools and other educational institutions.
