Armenian News-NEWS.am presents Nanore Barsoumian's article posted on
the The Armenian Weekly with extractions.
In recent days, as violence continues in Syria, various steps have
been taken in Armenia to decide rather indefinite situation of the
Armenian community there.
The issue of immigrating to Armenia is not as simple as could have
been imagined.
Historian Ara Sanjian at the University of Michigan-Dearborn believes
Armenians worldwide must provide moral and financial support to the
Armenians in Syria.
Regarding the efforts of the Armenian Government, Sanjian believes
that officials do not understand the problems of Diaspora well.
`The Armenian Government can do very little because of the situation
in Syria, the poor economy in Armenia, and more importantly, because
there is very little hard knowledge among the government officials and
in the media about the realities of life in Diaspora,' he added.
