YEREVAN. - Hardships of Armenian community of Germany are identical
to those of other communities in Europe, German PR expert of Armenian
origin Vazril Bazil told Armenian News-NEWS.am. The expert is in
Armenia in the framework of All-Armenian forum.
"The priority issue for Armenian communities of Europe is to maintain
Armenian language and identity," he said, adding that key to solution
of this problem lies in Armenian families. "Active work with children
only cannot be enough. We should also work with the parents, as after
all it is the parent who educates the child. Another major issue is
the education of church and state officials. Youth in the West has
high level of education and insufficient knowledge of clergy and
officials alienates them from the church and community. Negligence
becomes a reason for the youth to avoid Armenian Apostolic Church
and official representatives of Armenia."
Note that All-Armenian forum gathers the leaders and representatives
of the Diaspora and Armenia and is dedicated to 20th anniversary
of Armenia's Independence. The forum will run on September 19-20
in Yerevan.
