/PanARMENIAN.Net/ If a unified coordinating body consisting of
representatives of Armenia and Diaspora is not formed at the
Armenia-Diaspora Third Forum, it will become an ordinary event,
Academician Karlen Dallakyan said today at a meeting in the RA National
Academy of Sciences. In his words, otherwise the Armenian nation will
not be able to counteract the challenges of the 21st century. Dallakyan
accused Armenian TV channels of narrowness of covering of the events of
the Diasporan life. "From the very beginning of the military operations
in Lebanon we were presented by the viewpoint of the editor-in-chief of
Azdak newspaper, which is a body of AFR Dashnaktsutyun," he remarked.
For his part, Director of the Institute of Oriental Studies Nikolay
Ohanesyan emphasized that one of the major problems of out nation is
the existence of two altars of the Armenian Apostolic Church (AAC)
- in Holy Echmiadzin and in Antilas. "The holy altar should be one,
in Echmiadzin. The policy pursued by Catholicos Aram I leads to the
final split of the AAC," he said. Ohanesyan also noted the necessity
of precise line of the government towards the Diaspora.
According to historian Stepan Stepanyan, at the international arena
the NKR issue should be discussed together with the Nakhichevan
issue. "Nakhichevan was also given to Azerbaijan in 1921. These
problems are bound," he said.
The meeting participants also underscored that the law in dual
citizenship should be adopted as soon as possible.
