Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, who is on a working visit to the
United States, left New York for Los Algeles, Sept. 24.
The first day of his visit, the Armenian leader laid a wreath at
the Armenian Genocide Memorial in Montebello, Los Angeles country,
California, and planted a tree in the lane.
On Sept. 25, President Serzh Sargsyan took part in the opening of
an economic forum organized by the Central Bank of Armenia (CBA)
and the Association of Armenian Banks. Attending were also Armenian
and Californian businessmen. In his speech at the forum, the Armenian
leader pointed out the importance of realizing the Armenian Diaspora's
potential for strengthening Armenia and developing its economy.
President Serzh Sargsyan noted that the Armenian population's potential
has not been properly used over the past 20 years. Since the country
gained independence, it has had both achievements and losses.
"We are responsible for both achievements and losses," the Armenian
leader said. If the potential is properly used, greater achievements
can be registered, he said.
President Serzh Sargsyan thanked Armenian Diasporan businessmen for
their contribution to strengthening Armenia over the past 20 years. "I
hope that by our common efforts we will see a country we all will be
proud of in the foreseeable future," the Armenian leader said.
President Serzh Sargsyan attended a service at the newly built church
of St. Gevond in Los Angeles. At the reception that followed the
service, the Armenian leader held a meeting with the Diocesan Council
and Armenian philanthropists. The same day, the Armenian president
attended the opening ceremony of the Ameria Group's office.
In Los Angeles, President Serzh Sargsyan attended the opening ceremony
of a new building of Armenia's Consulate General in the United States.
He expressed the confidence that all the Armenians residing in the
area will at least once visit the Consulate General. "I call on all
those residing in this part of the United States to come here. I call
on both those loving the authorities and those not loving them.
Authorities - liked or disliked - are temporal. The Homeland is
everlasting, and this building is a link with the Homeland. I would
like to thank the United States for allowing our nationals in, develop,
integrate into this great power's society and make it know about their
historical Homeland - during the hardest times for our people. We are
proud of you and we will do our utmost for you to feel proud of us,"
the Armenian leader said. He also thanked the local authorities.
On September 25, in Los Angeles, President Serzh Sargsyan took part
in a solemn reception on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of
Armenia's independence. Before the reception, the Armenian leader
met with the world-famous opera singer Placido Domingo.
