/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The purpose of Armenian Assembly of America Summer
Internship Program in Armenia is to train new leaders of Diaspora.

"The program was developed because the ties loosened between
Armenia and Diaspora," Summer Internship Program coordinator Vram
Karakeshishiants told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

"Three or even generations of Diasporan Armenians who heard about
Armenia but know nothing about it. We are hopeful that our students
will make friends here and familiarize themselves with Armenian
culture and then tell about it to their peers in the United States,
France, UK or Middle East," he said, adding that one of the program
participants has already married here.

"Our aim is not to make young people return to Armenia. They will be
much more useful for Yerevan if stay abroad," he said.
