YEREVAN, May 18. /ARKA/. Armenian communities worldwide ought to pay
greater attention to Armenia's problems, Khosrov Harutyunyan, Armenian
Christian Democrats' leader and former prime minister and ex-speaker
of Armenian National Assembly, said at Novosti International Press
Center on Monday.
"All of us must understand that we are one nation with common
problems."
Harutyunyan said that lobbyist organizations of Armenian communities
in the United States concentrate all their efforts on recognition of
the fact of Armenian genocide.
He thinks if they focused even 20% of their efforts on Karabakh problem
"we'd reach greater success here".
"The thing is that lobbyist organizations pay little attention to
national self-determination right as the only principle for settling
Karabakh conflict", Harutyunyan said.
He thinks the Armenian Diaspora is both wealth and problem for Armenia.
"Armenian communities overseas should understand that their decisions
should have impact on our children's fate."
