    PROSPECTS OF COOPERATION

    Yerkir/arm
    August 26, 2005

    Sponsored by Cilicia Catholicos Aram I, a conference entitled "Looking
    for prospects of Armenia-Diaspora cooperation" was held on August
    11-13 in Antelias. Intellectuals from Armenia and Diaspora were
    invited to participate.

    In his opening remarks on the direction the conference should take and
    its prospects, Aram I said: "We hope that the unique nature of this
    gathering would provide an opportunity for free thought, realistic
    analyses and honest judgments away from all kinds of influences and
    prejudiced approaches." said His Holiness.

    His Holiness stressed the importance of dialogue. "Talking
    about each other away from one another leads us to alienation,
    polarization. Being together and talking with one another lead us to
    unity and progress. Our nation should choose the second path."

    His Holiness called upon the attendants to come out of their closed
    circles and stay open to new challenges. "We need new and wider spaces
    to inter-act with each other", said Aram I. He stressed cooperation
    as the pivot of the Armenian nation's collective struggle.

    "The sense of belonging to one nation has become the unshakable basis
    of our unity, our strength, our survival. Therefore, we should talk
    about cooperation between the two societies of a single nation. Any
    other approach is not acceptable," said His Holiness.

    His Holiness summarized the main purpose of the conference in the
    following three points: giving a new impetus to the cooperation between
    Armenia and the Diaspora, challenge intellectuals to make people's
    voices and will heard, discussing the factors hindering cooperation
    and looking for ways for giving a new drive to this cooperation.
