/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The RA Ministry of Diaspora Affairs is developing
a promotion program for Armenians of Latin America.

"This program will facilitate resolution of problems of the Armenian
community, exchange programs for teachers, etc. The Armenian community
of Latin America is different from those in other states. There is
a danger of alienation," Hranush Hakobian, the Minister of Diaspora
Affairs, told a news conference today.

"Our compatriots welcomed the idea," she added.

"The Ministry, whose official website will be launched soon, is
negotiating with 120 Armenian communities throughout the globe. We are
developing a number of projects to streamline the process of Armenian
citizenship receipt, to help Armenians return to the homeland and to
help Diaspora youth enter Armenian universities," Ms. Hakobian said.
