YEREVAN, JULY 27, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. RA Minister of
Diaspora Hranush Hakobian received the newly appointed Brazilian
Ambassador to Armenia Marsela Nicodemos on July 22.
The Ambassador presented the Minister with the history and reasons
of formation of Brazilian Diaspora which has a history of about 30
years and 4 mln population. Marsela Nicodemos noted that the Brazilian
Diaspora is mainly concentrated in USA and Japan. Taking into account
the great experience of Armenia the Ambassador stressed that she
expects the assistance of RA Ministry of Diaspora in the work carried
out with the communities and in the formation of relations. She also
stressed that she is well-informed about the Armenian community in
Brazil among which there are also talented and famous people who take
positions in official and diplomatic structures.
Minister Hranush Hakobian greeted the guest on the occasion of holding
diplomatic post in Armenia and expressed willingness to assist as
far as possible in smoothing over the problems emerging in the work
with Diaspora.
The Minister speaking about the formation and peculiarities of
Armenian Diaspora stressed that Armenian Diaspora has an ancient
history but became bigger at the end of the last century by the
Armenian survivors of Armenian Genocide. During those years the
Armenian Diaspora managed to become fully-established and promote a
stormy activity in educational, cultural and spiritual spheres. The
Minister especially attached importance to the role of Armenian
traditional parties, churches and benefactors in the formation of
Armenian Diaspora and in preservation of Armenian identity.
Hranush Hakobian speaking about the policy adopted by the Ministry of
Diaspora presented the guest with the primary problems which refer to
the preservation of Armenian identity, revelation of Armenian potential
and repatriation. In the revelation of Armenian potential the Minister
attached importance to the holding of professional conferences as
a result of which the newly created companies and unions give an
opportunity to the people having the same profession to unite and
communicate around new pro-Armenian ideas and programs. The Minister
also noted that the use of high technologies greatly contributes to
the establishment of relations with Diasporan structures especially
stressing the holding of video conferences and the creation of
Hayernaysor newspaper.
According to the Press and Public Relations Department of the RA
Ministry of Diaspora, Hranush Hakobian also presented the guest with
the RA Ministry of Diaspora's program of Latin America's Armenian
community's educational-cultural assistance. An agreement was reached
to implement joint programs in this sphere particularly to hold
distance courses of Armenian Language and History along with Sao
Paulo's Daniel Varuzhan school. In cooperation of joint programs the
Minister attached importance to the involvement of Brazilian Armenian
cultural groups within the framework of the One Nation One Culture
festival and the assistance of the Embassy in that issue.
