/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian-American community is at the forefront
of our relations, promoting bilateral trade and scientific
cooperation, as well as cultural and interchurch contacts, Armenian
Ambassador to the US Tatul Margarian stated. “There are many
distinguished Armenian-American individuals and organizations that
have provided important support to Armenia and Artsakh and continue
contributing immensely to strengthening the Armenian statehood, as
well as the development of the Armenian economy. Earlier this month,
famous Armenian benefactor Kirk Kirkorian’s Lincy Foundation
announced the new $60 million program in Armenia. Strengthening the
Homeland-Diaspora ties remains a priority for the Armenian
government, and many institutional and ad hoc measures have been
implemented in recent years. I am convinced that we are only
beginning to reveal the synergies and realize this potential, and it
is necessary to continue the policies of bringing the Homeland and
Diaspora even closer. Already today, Armenia is home to all
Armenians, and every Armenian can make a difference there”, he said,
Armenpress news agency reported.
