Tigran Torosyan, RA NA Speaker was first to touch upon the theme of
the third conference Armenia-Diaspora.

He shared the concern of many participants of the conference
and wondered why our friends from Artsakh weren’t present in the
forum. Then Mr. Torosyan replied to the question raised by him saying
half-jokingly,"Artsakh is not Diaspora and it won’t be Diaspora in
the future either."

While answering the question whether the Diaspora and Armenia can
develop separately, Tigran Torosyan presented his views.

Torosyan is concerned by the fact that Armenian Diaspora is diverse
and contradicting which is a common phenomenon. In his words the
country must confront both the internal and external threats and
support the Diaspora to combat the menace of globalization.

Diaspora must enlarge its role in this respect and contribute to the
establishment of our country. "We need strong will power and boundless
care which are more vital for the country’s well-being than financial
support," maintains Tigran Torosyan.
