Our athletes have been already convinced that bringing medals from World and European championships, the president of NOC properly estimates their achievement. Our prize-winners receive big gratuities from Gagik Tsarukyan. For example, World champions Tigran Martirosyan, Nazik Avdalyan and the silver prize-winner of the Olympic Games Arsen Dzhulfalakyan received as a gift apartments in Yerevan from Gagik Tsarukyan.
