Ani Marselyan, a Syrian-based Arithmetic and Science teacher of
Armenian descent, has arrived in Armenia from Aleppo for the program
"Retraining of Diaspora Teachers in the Homeland."
There are many Armenian schools and associations in Syria, she told
an Aysor.am reporter.
"Our mission is to preserve Armenian identity, to spread the Armenian
language among the Diaspora children," the teacher stressed.
Despite the latest events in Syria, Marselyan said, they continue
their work.
Armenian school teachers will continue working from September 1. "We
should continue our sacred work," and the political situation does
not prevent the schools from working, according to her.
The migration rates have not gone up in Syria due to the latest events,
Marselyan noted, though some level of migration always exists, people
always emigrate to live in Armenia, America, and other countries,
"but Armenians have always been comfortable in Syria, and enjoyed
full rights."
The Diaspora teacher attaching importance to preservation of Armenian
identity in the East said that in Eastern countries, Armenians manage
to preserve their identity while in the West, they assimilate.
