YEREVAN, AUGUST 21, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. The participants
of the Come Home 2009 program's second stage, Moscow Bauman State
Technical University student Lilia Dilanian, Moscow Lomonosov State
University students Anna Sahakian and Erna Gasparian were hosted by the
RA Ministry of Diaspora Information and Telecommunication Department.
The quality of Come Home program's organization, the things they saw
and learnt within the framework of it made only good impressions on
Moscow-based Armenian students. Though E. Gasparian comes to Armenia
every year, she had never visited many of the sights she saw within the
framework of the Come Home program. "Besides patriotism, you are filled
with another unspeakable feeling when you realize that your ancestors
created those wonders many centuries ago," the Moscow-based student
said. Summarizing the opinion of the program participants she said:
"It was noticeable that we all are Armenian though the mentality of
the countries where they live has had an impact on the young people."
E. Gasparian suggested including meetings with Armenian-based
schoolchildren and students in the Come Home program, during which the
Diasporan young people will be further informed about the problems of
the local youth of their age. She also suggested developing information
contacts between the RA Ministry of Diaspora and Armenian organizations
of Moscow.
L. Dilanian especially liked the farewell event of program
participants, Sevan, Garni, Geghard. She gained new Moscow-based and
Georgian Armenian friends, but the time was not enough for making
friends with Diasporan young people from other countries. The fact
that she does not know Western Armenian also partly hindered it. The
Moscow-based student expressed a wish to learn Western Armenian. She
hopes that she will be able to participate in the Come Home program
next year, as well.
E. Gasparian did not have language problems and managed to make friends
also with young people who had arrived from European countries. She
wishes such projects as Come Home to be implemented as much as possible
for Diasporan young people to really wish to return to the Homeland.
L. Dilanian considered improbable returning to Armenia after graduating
from the university thinking that for a specialist of robototechnics
there are little opportunities to find a job here. While she had no
information about companies functioning in that and adjacent spheres
in Armenia.
A. Sahakian being on the way of becoming a specialist of international
relations has firmly decided to return to Armenia as she wishes to
pave her professional way by the rules of her native country. And
future translator E. Gasparian believes that one can find a job in
Armenia if he wants.
