"Armenian school and church in Diaspora are the important supporting
columns of keeping the Diaspora as Armenians," the Minister of Diaspora
Hranush Hakobyan announced in the fourth Pan- Armenian educational
conference today. About 150 participants from 26 countries take part
in this conference. Serzh Sargsyan has addressed his message to the
participants. Tigran Sargsyan will receive the guest.
The Minister of Education and Science Armen Ashotyan has great
expectations from the conference. As a result of the three day lasting
conference, a new formula must be born, the old programmatic principles
must become clear and I am sure there will be new suggestions.
Once in two year, the conference gathers in the motherland teachers
around the world concerned about the problems of keeping the Armenian
language. The Armenian colonies have a lot of similar and diverse
problems. The Minister of Diaspora mentions the lack of teachers and
class books.
"We must prepare teachers. We must write books for the children
speaking in foreign languages. We must accept that about 80 percent
of our nation doesn't know Armenian," she said.
"All the elements, projects that we have in Armenia must be served
to our compatriots in Diaspora for them to stay as Armenians," Armen
Ashotyan said.
