The deputy minister of RA Diaspora Ministry Stepan Petrosyan summed up
the results of the second round of `Ari Toun' (Come Home) project the
ending of which was announced yesterday. During the program 65
Armenian teenagers from 7 countries of the world hosted Armenian
families in Yerevan for around 15 days.
`The Armenian teenagers had the opportunity to get acquainted with
their real and not virtual fatherland. They visited the Matenadaran,
National Art Gallery, and the Holy See of Mother St. Echmiadzin,
lessons were organized for them during which they received knowledge
about Armenia',- noted S. Petrosyan.
He hoped that the teenagers will transfer the new charge they got to
their Armenian friends abroad and next year much more teenagers will
take part in the program.
This year the Ministry of Diaspora prepares to receive around 500
Armenian teenagers from Diaspora in host families. As S. Petrosyan
assured the Armenian families are not being supported by the ministry
financially but the volunteers are too many both in Yerevan and in the
regions, they even `complain, saying that we do not give them
children.'
The deputy minister informed that this time the families have been
chosen only from the capital city for them to be easy keeping under
control and in connection, besides the ministry needed some
experience.
`Next year the geography will widen', - assures S. Petrosyan.

thrid round of the program will launch in August 18. Teenagers from
Iran, Georgia, France, Ukraine and other countries are being expected.
