On July 17, 2009, the Pan-Armenian Olympiad of Armenian language and literature, as well as the Armenian studies competition, concluded at the Arno Babajanian Concert Hall in Yerevan, Armenia. School teams from 12 countries took part in the Olympiad that started on July 10 and included 133 student participants.
The Syrian team, which triumphed during the competition, was awarded the top prize. Maria Shahinian, Arpi Dekirmenjian and Nushik Tutunjian from AGBU Lazar Najarian Calouste-Gulbenkian School in Aleppo, Syria, were among the participants in the competition. Maria Shahinian was among the three first-prize winners of the Armenian studies competition, while Nushik Tutunjian was among the three second-prize winners.
The main goal of the Olympiad and the competition was to encourage diasporan Armenian students to deepen their love and knowledge of Armenian language, literature, history and culture. During their stay in Yerevan, the visiting students traveled to a number of historic sights and enjoyed the cultural riches of Armenia.
