YEREVAN
The RA Ministry of Diaspora and Hanguyc team on September 8 signed
a memorandum, under which the sides will contribute to the creation
of a pan-Armenian portal of national significance. Being aimed at
preserving the Armenian identity, the portal will become an important
tool for regulating Armenian information flows, Information and PR
Department of the RA Ministry of Diaspora reported.
The Minister of Diaspora Hranush Hakobian attached importance to the
use of high technologies for unifying the Armenians scattered around
world, and to the full use of the nation's potential for the purpose
of strengthening the Homeland. In this respect she pointed out the
necessity of certain programs, in particular those related to the use
of Armenian in the Internet, making translations from other languages,
as well as translations from Western Armenian into Eastern Armenian
and vice versa. She said that the Armenian people can be informed
about any project, news, problem through the Internet and expressed
her satisfaction with the availability of Internet tools which enable
to regulate information flows from Armenia to the Diaspora and in
the opposite direction. "I am convinced that we will have an Armenian
Google, but as the minister of Diaspora I dream of having an Armenian
CNN," she noted, adding that the establishment of an Armenian search
system will contribute to the creation of all-Armenian television. "It
is time for our powerful high-tech organizations to unite and solve
numerous problems related to preservation of the Armenian identity,"
she underlined, noting that 3rd forum ArmTech 2009 will be held in
San Francisco on November 6-10, an event of great signifiance for
the organization of experts' repatriation.
The purpose of the memorandum is to unify the Armenians around
Armenia's independent statehood by encouraging Homeland-Diaspora
cooperation.
The Ministry of Diaspora and Hanguyc team (www.hangyuc.am) will also
help with the establishment of an Armenian Internet search system
that will later assume the role of a national local regulator by
uniting all Armenian websites into a single system and reducing the
gradually increasing outflow of money in this sphere.
The sides will also carry out work on the creation and active
development of an Armenian Internet with Armenian contents,
thanks to which Armenians living in Homeland and Diaspora will
have the opportunity to be in constant contact via various means of
communication and overcome the existing time, linguistic, distance and
other barriers. This network may form a basis for a virtual "Armenian
world" which will include a number of professional networks allowing
to consolidate the intellectual, cultural and scientific potential
of Armenians living in various countries and use the joint activities
of the professional network's members for the welfare of the nation.
The memorandum was signed by Head of the Ministry's Information and
PR Department Tigran Harutyunian on behalf of the Ministry and by
the team head Mher Abrahamian on behalf of Hanguyc.
