KRASNODAR, JUNE 27, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. The "Aragil" (stork)
center of acquaintances headed by Arevik Safarian started to function
from April, 2005, in the territory of the Surb Hovhannes Avetaranich
(John The Evangelist) Armenian church in Krasnodar. According to
Arevik, the main goal of the center was to organize assistance for
those people who finds it difficult to create a family by himself. One
of not less important tasks of the center is to assist marriages
between Armenians in counter-balance to interracial marriages being
practically shaped. The fact that the most part of men addressed to
the center wants to link their life with Armenian women, deserves
attention.
To add, all Armenians above 18 years old may address to the center.
According to the "Yerkramas" (country) newspaper of Armenians of
Russia, as of today, five couples from those addressed to "Aragil"
linked their fates.
During a comparatively short period of time the center became famous
not only in Krasnodar and in the country, but in Moscow as well from
where a few letters were addressed to "Aragil." Attempts are made
to establish ties with Armenia: the last example, a young man from
Krasnodar even came to Yerevan to get acquainted with a girl.
"Though many people would like to address to the center, however,
there are restraining factors, and first of all, it is the shyness,
the head of the center mentions. But there is nothing blameworthy in
the center's assistance, creating a family is a very serious issue,
isn't it. We have cases when parents address to us secretly from
their children whom they want to help to create a family."
"Aragil" attempts to establish ties with similar organizations
of Armenia and Russia: in Arevik Safarian's opinion it will be
useful. The head of "Aragil" mentions that it is not easy to establish
acquaintances just by forms. It would be better to organize evening
parties and festive events during which young people (and not so young
ones) would have possibility to communicate and form some opinion
about one another. This part of activity of the center will suppose
financial expenses, and Arevik hopes that people are found soon who
will sponsor similar events.
