/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A need to create an organization structure that will
coordinate joint efforts of the Diaspora and the Republic of Armenia,
determine national goals, President of the Union of Armenians of Russia
(UAR) and the World Armenian Congress (WAC) Ara Abrahamyan stated
during the Armenia-Diaspora Third All-Armenian Forum. In his words,
the need for working out a national program to determine internal
and foreign policy priorities matured long ago.
"No matter how strong Diaspora individual communities or organizations
are, it is impossible to ensure effective organizational and political
unity of Armenians of the world without active work of the Republic
of Armenia. I would like to suggest Armenian authorities and Diaspora
representatives to create necessary organizational structures and
start working out a national program with participation of experts
from the Diaspora and Armenia also involving experts from respective
international structures if necessary.
Simultaneous to that, we could set about creation of an institutional
mechanism to implement that national program," Abrahamyan underscored.
"I am sure that each community, each Armenian, no matter where he
lives, will thus have an opportunity to take part in solution of the
tasks our historical Fatherland and the Armenian community worldwide
have," he summed up.
