YEREVAN, JULY 11, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. One of the most
important goals of the All Armenian International Youth two-day
Conference of the World Armenian Congress (WAC) is to find ways of
solving the problems of rural communities. Jivan Movsisian, the Head of
the Agency for Contacts with the Diaspora of the RA Foreign Ministry,
said this at the second sitting of the conference held on July 10. In
his words, to register progress in Armenian rural communities, the
problems of development of infrastructures, educational institutions,
cultural centers, medical and service spheres, drinking and irrigation
water, and others should be solved.
J. Movsisian considers that the direct contact of the Diasporan
Armenians with Armenian rural communities will greatly promote
solutions to the above mentioned problems, while, as he said, "our
compatriots’ visits to the homeland are only limited to the city of
Yerevan." He said that if investments are made in rural communities,
in a short time, in 5-10 years, immigration will be registered in
Armenian villages.
In J. Movsisian’s words, the development programs of agricultural
sphere worked out jointly with youths as a result of the conference
will be immediately used in 165 border villages.
