Sahakyan is currently in the U.S. on a working visit to take part in
the annual fund raising event organized by Hayastan All-Armenian Fund,
the central information department of the office of the NKR President
told PanARMENIAN.Net.
On 19 November, President Sahakyan met in Boston with representatives
of the Armenian Relief Society (ARS), Youth Union of the Armenian
Revolutionary Federation Party and Hamazgayin Cultural Union to
discuss issues referring to different projects implemented in the
NKR, socioeconomic development of the republic and Artsakh-Diaspora
relations.
Mr. Sahakyan underlined that new format of relations with different
Diaspora organizations, in particular with the ARS, has already brought
positive results. The new format based on close cooperation between
different Diaspora organizations and the government of the NKR is a
solid guarantee of effective cooperation, according to him.
Special attention was paid to possibilities to strengthen ties between
the youth in Diaspora and Artsakh.
On the same day, President Sahakyan held a meeting with president of
the board of trustees of the Armenian Assembly of America (Assembly)
