The Ministry of Diaspora celebrates the first birthday
anniversary. Today Minister Hranush Hakobyan summed up the work dune by
the agency over the past year. The activity of the Ministry has been
primarily targeted at the revival of the Diaspora in the spiritual,
cultural and educations spheres.

The Minister laid a special emphasis on issues of maintenance of the
Armenian national identity and repatriation. Thus, presenting the work
done in different directions, Hranush Hakobyan confessed that there
had been a number of difficulties resulting from lack of experience.

"This first year was like a preparation for our employees. The main
difficulty is connected with the fact that the Diaspora is not a
single body. The Diaspora is far from us, and there are a lot of
Armenians, not included in any organization. The more we get involved
in Armenians structures and organizations, the easier the work of
the Diaspora Ministry," Mrs. Hakobyan stated.
