Over 5 000 people live today in the Armenian community of Switzerland.
Here they are engaged in different things; most of the Armenians,
however, earn through goldsmithery.
Jean Pierre Sedef was the last Armenian to settle in the Swiss
Armenian community. He told `Radiolur' correspondent Nvard Davtyan
that he has the largest wedding saloon in Switzerland. He moved from
France to Switzerland, as it is easier to live here.
`Local Armenians are more open, far from politics and party games,'
Jean Pierre Sedef says. However, Armenians see their great role in the
recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Switzerland.
Armenian scientists work at the European Nuclear Research Center in
Geneva. President of the Union of Armenians of Switzerland Vahe
Gabrash is delighted with the Armenian scientists.
`It seems that the issue of preservation of the native language is
under threat here. There is only one Armenian school in Geneva,' Vahe
Gabrash told our correspondent.
