YEREVAN, JULY 10, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. "The World Armenian
Congress has not managed to unite the whole Diaspora as yet, which is
a pity," Ara Abrahamian, the Chairman of the World Armenian Congress,
declared on July 9.

Ara Abrahamian made an opening speech at the first conference of
the Youth Union of the World Armenian Congress, saying: "The work
we did is not enough to contribute to the settlement of the world
Armenian problems as well as those of the Republic of Armenia, we
can do more." According to him the World Armenian Congress has not
managed to create a branch in the United States.

According to Ara Abrahamian, the American-Armenian Diaspora is
not united at present and there is a struggle at the level of
organizations. In his opinion, this fact does not contribute to
activities in favour of Armenia, moreover, under a circumstance where
Armenia is in a tricky situation in comparison with its neigbour
countries. For example, according to Ara Abrahamian, in case the
relations between the United States and Iran, as well as between
Russia and Georgia become complicated, there may be serious problems
for Armenia, as the Karabakh problem has not been settled as yet.

Ara Abrahamian stated that a conference dedicated to the issue of
to what extent the Diaspora may be useful in the Karabakh conflict
settlement will be organized by the World Armenian Congress in October.
