/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Diaspora's aid to Armenia should be address,
Rutgers University student Raffi Harutyunian, who is in Armenia on an
AAA student project, told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. In his words,
the investments in Armenia should be made in the sectors that need
them. "Diaspora's psychology should be changed. It's not a hard job
just to give money. We should know how the funds are spent and why
we assign them. I think Armenia should follow Israel's example on
the matter," Harutyunian remarked. At the same time he stressed that
some Disaporan Armenians consider that they perform their duty to the
homeland by establishing a hotel or a museum in Armenia. "We should
know exactly what Armenia needs and what fields need investments
and development. But sometimes we face discrepancies. We offer to
improve the whole infrastructure while the Armenian government says
to develop one village and then the other," said Raffi Harutyunian
mastering in political sciences.
To note, 14 students from U.S. universities have arrived in Armenia
to work in the Armenian ministries and NGOs as well as various
international organizations. The purpose of the AAA program launched
in 1999 is familiarization with Armenia and clarification of AAA
priority projects.
