Armenian youth living in Ukraine don’t get in touch with their
compatriots in Armenia, A1+ service reported.
"The reason is obvious. We know nothing about each other," said David
Lazarian, the head of the Armenian Youth Community in Ukraine.
"The community is comprised of 3000 members. Last year we organized
"Miss Armenia" beauty contest with the participation of Armenians
from ten Ukrainian regions. We also held a backgammon competition,"
says David Lazarian.
Lazarian confessed that "they are unaware of Armenia’s political
and social life."
The Armenian Youth Community has recently participated in the
Pan-Armenian International Youth Conference and established relations
with the local youth.
"We have many friends in Armenia and voice hope that our collaboration
will bridge the youth of the two countries under question," concluded
David Lazarian.
