On October 6, in Beirut, Serge Sargsyan met with the Armenian
communities of the Near East, Egypt, Iran and Persian Gulf.
As the press office of the president reports, before the meeting, the
Head of the Catholicosate of the Great House of Cilicia his Holiness
Aram I visited him. Serge Sargsyan and Aram I dwelt on issues regarding
the pre-signed Armenian -Turkish protocols and Armenian and Turkish
relations.
Serge Sargsyan held a speech during a supper organized in connection
with his visit to Beirut. In his speech, he dwelt on the survival of
many Armenians after the genocide and on their strength which helped
them live and prosper all over the world. He said that today Armenia
and Armenians face many problems -economic, political and others. But
according to him, when we compare the decades, we see that we have
never had more convenient conditions.
Serge Sargsyan also said that he is there, in Beirut, because he
needs to listen to the worries of the Diasporian Armenians because
it really helps him in his work. As well as, he says he went there
to persuade them to trust Armenia. According to him, Armenia has
many friends in the world, but there are also those who have hostile
behavior towards Armenia and want to split Armenia from Karabakh and
Armenia from the Diaspora.
Serge Sargsyan stated that we need modern solutions perceivable for the
world and for the Armenian reality. He said sure that our collective
mind will find those solutions. He stated that today we have numerous
fronts of struggle and we are together-Armenia, Karabakh and Diaspora,
and with such a front, we are invincible and immortal.
