/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Days of the World Armenian Congress and the
Union of Armenians of Russia are starting in Armenia and Nagorno
Karabakh today.
Special mechanisms of collaboration between the WAC and the Armenian
government have not been worked out yet and the organization develops
activities in scientific, educational and economic fields only,
Chairman of the Union of Armenians of Russia Ara Abrahamian stated
during today’s press conference dedicated to the 5-th anniversary
of the organization. He also informed he is meeting with Robert
Kocharian tomorrow and is going to offer the RA President to elaborate
a mechanism of the kind. He also noted that the organization is not
engaged in politics, since its members are citizens of Russia. However
he informed that they will assist in conducting the parliamentary
and presidential election in Armenia. When commenting on the demand
of the Armenian community of Georgia to grant an autonomy status to
Samtskhe-Javakhetia Ara Abrahamian said that Georgia is an independent
state but if it is incapable to secure employment for its citizens,
the residents of Samtskhe-Javakhetia have the right to ask for
autonomy. “We should show concern for the fate of our compatriots”,
he stated.
