  • Argentine Armenian Fotballer Nikolas Ohannesian on Armenianness

    "Most important is to feel Armenian spirit in Homeland," Argentine
    Armenian young man Nikolas Ohannesian says

    YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 4, NOYAN TAPAN- ARMENIANS TODAY. Players of Buenos
    Aires football team which is the participant of Football Tournament of
    Pan-Armenian Games Eghia Arslanian, Kristian Ekizian, Nikolas
    Ohannesian, Lukas Baghdasarian and Santiago Panosian, father of the
    latter, doctor of the team Alberto Panosian and Roz Mary Dangasian, the
    director of Pan-Armenian Games' organizational department of Buenos
    Aires were hosted by RA Ministry of Diaspora's Department of Armenian
    Communities of America the other day.

    In the conversation with the guests it turned out that only S. Panosian
    was in Armenia for the first time. He is sure that he will come to his
    Homeland again as the impressions that he has got were positive. And
    even the thousands of kilometres between Armenia and Argentina can not
    be obstacles for returning to Armenia.

    The doctor of the team noted that though Santiago has a lot of Armenian
    friends their family has just begun to take part in the life of the
    Armenian community of Buenos Aires. A. Panosian added that he is glad
    to be in Armenia, where his grandfather or mother have not had an
    opportunity to be. Santiago agreed with above mentioned Department's
    Director of the Subdivision of North America Gayane Dabaghian who said
    that the Argentine Armenian young man came to Armenia feeling his
    Armenian roots and with the call of blood.

    The Argentine Armenian young people noted that Armenia is progressing
    quickly and Yerevan has become a European city. According to N.
    Ohannesian, nevertheless, the modern buildings are not the most
    important thing, but it is important "to feel Armenian spirit in the
    Homeland."

    R.M. Dangasian said that the main part of the members of the Buenos
    Aires team have played football together since childhood. He also
    cleared up that different sporting groups function at the Armenian
    schools of Argentina and the Armenian General Athletic Union holds
    games between these schools every year.

    The Argentine Armenian young people told that balls, evening parties
    and other events are recurrently held in the Armenian community of
    Buenos Aires.

    The Director of the above mentioned Department invited the Argentine
    Armenian young people to take part in the 2010 Come Home program of the
    RA Ministry of Diaspora which will give them an opportunity to see the
    sights of Armenia, to further get acquainted with the Armenian culture
    and history, to gain Armenian and Diasporan Armenian friends and so to
    become a "bridge" between Armenia, Armenians of Argentina and other
    communities of Diaspora. He also said that the RA Ministry of Diaspora
    implements a Program of Assistance to Educational-Cultural Problems of
    South (Latin) America's Armenian Communities which has been affirmed by
    the RA government.
