President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan attended the Second Conference of
the World Armenian Congress on Monday.
Welcoming the delegates to the Conference, the president said that all
them are united with common values and feelings that helped the
Armenian people overcome numerous difficulties and preserve its
ethnos. "We must welcome all the initiatives uniting the Diaspora. We
are few and we must be united not to face assimilation. Therefore,
mechanisms of self-organization and mutual-assistance must be
welcomed."
The president said that due to various public organizations Armenia
can speak of the world Armenian civil society comprising successful
political, charitable and cultural organizations. "A big variety of
such organizations makes the civil society stronger and we must do our
best to preserve this variety. It should be noted, however, that the
public must unite around justice and knowledge," he said.
The president thinks that the country cannot replace civil society and
the vice verse, which means that the state and the civil society must
cooperate and promote each other.
"Many peoples live outside their motherlands, but Armenians did not
leave the motherland for better life, they were forcefully deported
and submitted to Genocide. A centennial of that crime against our
people is coming, bit it has not yet received a proper assessment. So,
Armenia and the world Armenian community must unite around that
issue," the president said. He said that recognition of the Armenian
genocide is not the only important issue on agenda of our country.
After the victory in the war for Artsakh unleashed by Azerbaijan, it
is time to establish justice in the diplomatic field by combined
efforts, the president said. Sargsyan touched upon the Syrian
Armenians who need assistance. "All of us have much to say and do. We
have done much and yet have much to do. I am sure we will," the
president concluded.
