Upon the invitation of the Ministry of Diaspora, a lot of young
Armenians of the Diaspora are currently in Armenia to attend the
school of young Armenian Diaspora leaders. The first impression of
the young Armenians from all over the world is not positive.
A young Armenian of Syria is surprised to see the protests and
the cries of mothers of killed soldiers in front of the house of
government. The Syrian-Armenian says they are worried about the social
and economic crisis in Armenia and high emigration rate. As they can
see, people have no jobs so they leave the country.
A young Armenian of Syria named Palik Azarkyan noted that since the
crisis in Syria the number of Syrian Armenians leaving for Armenia
has increased sharply. But flights to Armenia are so few that not
everyone can get a ticket.
There is another problem. The Armenians from Syria who come here want
to have double nationality and get an Armenian passport. Meanwhile,
there is an issue with passports. They say there should be really
positive facts about Armenia for the Diaspora youth to return.
Member of Pashkovski Armenian Cultural Center of Krasnodar Arthur
Tashchyan is surprised at the bad treatment by the Armenian youths. He
says they feel alien here.
According to Tashchyan, the state has a lot to do in order to eliminate
this feeling of being alien. He thinks the reason for the negative
attitude of Armenians is the tough social and economic conditions
since they are jealous of the Diaspora but they do not know why they
had to spread all over the world, he says.
The young professor says he is ready to start working in Armenia
since September. He says he is willing to return but he wonders what
conditions could be offered to him as a young professional.
Artur and his friends are going to launch volunteer activities to help
vulnerable families of bolder villages, as well as Artsakh and Javakhk.
Artur notes that if the Armenian authorities do not create obstacles,
a lot of Diaspora Armenians will invest in Armenia.
Arin Ghazaryan of Beirut says being in Armenia for only 2 weeks he
has already understood how hard it is to live and work here.
