The forum of leaders and representatives of various diaspora
organizations kicked off at the Sport and Concert Complex after Karen
Demirchyan today.
Over 550 individuals representing 151 organizations and groups from
46 countries are participating in the two-day forum which was opened
by Serzh Sargsyan. The forum is also attended by different public
and political figures and spiritual leaders in Armenia.
The forum participants will discuss educational issues and attempts
to deepen relations between Armenia and Armenians overseas.
"Artsakh is willing and is ready to work in this format. We view it
as practical mechanism for strengthening Armenia-Artsakh-Diaspora
trinity," Karabakh President Bako Sahakyan said in his addressing
remarks.
Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II gave his patriarchal blessing
to the forum attendees, saying, "The proclamation of Arsakh and
Armenian independence opened a new chapter in the history of Armenia
and its people."
The most striking was the speech by Catholicos of the Greater House
of Cilicia Aram I who expressed concern over continuing emigration
from Armenia and corruption.
"Today our country and our people are facing serious challenges. Our
enemy wanted an Armenia without Armenians, but today we are forcing
Armenians off their homeland. This problem has economic reasons whose
solution is indispensable. And the Church cannot remain indifferent
against these unhealthy phenomena," he said.
