    Russia Armenians Days in Armenia and Nagorno-Karebakh

    By Tigran Liloyan

    YEREVAN


    The days of the Union of Armenians of Russia and of the World
    Armenian Congress in Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh began with a
    concert in the Yerevan Opera House on Wednesday.

    The Union of Armenians of Russia, which observes its fifths
    anniversary this year "extended hope and faith in the future of the
    Armenian diaspora in the Russian Federation." The diaspora counts
    over 2 million people, Ara Abramyan, the president of the two
    organizations, prominent Russian public figure and entrepreneur,
    UNESCO good offices ambassador, said on Wednesday. The Union now has
    240 chapters in 72 subjects in the Russian Federation. It sponsors an
    institute engaged in research into international politics and the
    history of Armenian genocide.

    "We enjoy much respect because of our deeds not only in Russia and in
    Armenia but also far beyond their boundaries," Abramyan said.
    "Russo-Armenian economic cooperation strengthens and broadens due to
    the efforts of the Union of Armenians of Russia".

    During the meeting with Armenian President Robert Kocharyan on
    Thursday, Abramyan, as head of the Union, is going to "discuss
    mechanisms of systemic work" with the republic. Harmonious
    interaction is lacking so far, Abramyan believes.

    Abramyan said he would continue implementing his programme of
    Armenia's computerization. In its framework, 1,000 computers will be
    distributed among institutes of higher learning, schools and other
    educational establishments in Armenia. Every year Abramyan provides
    several hundred thousand dollars for the National Academy of
    Sciences, the Writers' Union and Artists' Union in Armenia. Abramyan
    will be one of the benefactors contributing to the construction of a
    temple of the Armenian Apostolic Church in Moscow.

    "The Union of Armenians of Russia does not busy itself with politics,
    and because of being Russian citizens, its members have no right to
    intervene in Armenia's political life," Abramyan stressed. At the
    same time, the organization cannot but participate, in the framework
    of Armenian laws, in the republic's social and political life,
    Abramyan said.
