    Foreign Minister Oskanian Receives Representatives of Land and Culture

    Twenty young people from all over the world who have volunteered to
    serve with the Land and Culture organization visited the Ministry
    yesterday.

    After a brief tour of the Ministry, the Land and Culture volunteers
    (of whom there are 75 this year, from Canada, France,Georgia, India,
    Lebanon, Iran) were led into the office of the Foreign Minister.

    Minister Oskanian commended the patriotic mission of the organization
    and stressed the importance of sustainability of their endeavors. He
    stressed that the best way to contribute to the development of a
    national culture is to sustain close ties with historical
    motherland. Minister Oskanian welcomed programs like Land and Culture
    and other youth programs which offer young Diaspora Armenians a chance
    to live and work in Armenia, as interns or volunteers.

    During the meeting, Minister Oskanian responded to questions and
    briefly commented on aspects of Armenia's foreign relations, its
    relations with neighbour countries and key players in the region, the
    status of the Karabakh conflict resolution process, and
    Armenia-Diaspora relations.

    Land and Culture was founded in 1977 by a group of young French
    Armenians. Subsequently, the organisation established branches in the
    USA, UK, Armenia and other countries. Land and Culture started to work
    in Armenia a year after the Gyumri earthquake of 1988.
