In order to learn the opinions of the Diaspora on the Armenian and
Turkish protocols, from October 1, Serge Sargsyan will be visiting
New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Beirut and Doni Rostov. It is called
a pan-Armenian trip. But the question occurs what percent of all the
Armenians lives in those cities. For example, which is the reason why
Serge Sargsyan does not visit the Armenians living in Tehran. And why
not those living in Athens. There are numerous communities in these
cities too in addition they seem to be politically and socially active
communities. Are all the Armenians which are 10 million situated in
those four-five cities only? Is it possible to learn the opinions
of ten million Armenians in only 7 days? Whereas, Serge Sargsyan
stated on an occasion that 10 million Armenians means 10 million
ambassadors all over the world, so he has to learn each opinion of
these "ambassadors". If ten million is important in one case, how it
can be unimportant in another case and only the Armenians living in
those four-five cities become important.

It is of course comprehensible that it is physically impossible to meet
the majority of the Armenian Diaspora until the term of singing the
Armenian and Turkish protocols. But the question is that in this case
they do not need to meet anyone at all and present is as discussions or
communication with the Diaspora. Another format is better to be found
in which not the president but his delegates would participate. Let
them go and meet Armenians in decades of cities on behalf of the
president. If it was needed, let them take Serge Sargsyan’s letter
of attorney with them. Perhaps, in this case it would be possible
to dwell on some communication with the Diaspora. But only 10 cities
seem very few for 10 million Diaspora and the real aim does not seem
to be the Diaspora’s opinion but the Diaspora regularly becomes means.

By the way, the Diaspora is preparing to receive Serge Sargsyan with
a protest. See photo report.
