Armenians concerned over strengthening Azeri disapora

Baku, April 22, AssA-Irada

The number of Azeri Diaspora organizations in foreign countries has
exceeded 300 since the establishment of the state committee on
Azerbaijanis living abroad, says the Committee chairman Nazim
Ibrahimov. He said in a meeting with students at the Baku State
University that the number of Armenian communities abroad is
alarming, as it has exceeded 1,300 in the United States alone. Their
number in Russia is 230.
Ibrahimov continued that Armenians are growing perturbed with the
strengthening of the Azerbaijani community and voiced their concerns
over this at a recent meeting of Armenian communities in Yerevan.
They indicated that if the Armenian government does not step its
support to Armenian Diaspora organizations, the strengthening Azeri
Diaspora will soon nullify the success they accomplished over past
100 years.*
