On April 25 the RA NA President Hovik Abrahamyan had a meeting with
the participants of the Pan-Armenian Youth Forum `The Armenian in My
Heart' which also attended the RA Minister of Diaspora.
Welcoming the visit of the Diaspora young boys and girls to the
National Assembly the Head of the Parliament noted that the
participation in the forum already witnesses of their national way of
thinking and psychology, endeavours for the benefit of the nation and
high consciousness of national identity. Observing the Forum `The
Armenian in My Heart' as a logical continuation of `Ari Tun/Come Home'
Pan-Armenian programme, Hovik Abrahamyan greatly highlighted in the
preservation of Armenian identity the problem of language
preservation. He expressed confidence that such gatherings essentially
promote the strengthening of patriotic spirit, the introduction to
Armenia, its history and culture, implementation of programmes
benefiting for Armenians with joint forces. The NA President deemed
being in Armenia on April 24 symbolic and the participants together
with the youth of Armenia remembered the memory of 1,5 million
innocent Armenians killed in Ottoman Turkey. `This was another
evidence of the joint fighting, united steps and unreserved
realization of the united goal born from our national pain,' Hovik
Abrahamyan noted.
The Head of the Parliament presented the structure and directions of
the National Assembly activity to the participants of the meeting,
touched upon the international cooperation of the legislative body,
Armenia's inner and external problems, regional issues, including the
Armenian-Turkish relations and the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. With
respect to the latter, Hovik Abrahamyan reiterated Armenia's readiness
of solving the problem within the framework of the Minsk Group format
through peaceful negotiations based on three well-known principles.
`However, Azerbaijan with its bellicose posture leads the process into
deadlock, and because of its position, progress is not registered,'
the NA President said.
He also presented the activity of the Youth Parliament formed in the
NA, called on those present to develop active cooperation with the
European Parliament, as well as with other parliamentary structures.
Hovik Abrahamyan expressed hope that the Diaspora young people's
relation with the Motherland would become closer, and they would not
only keep the Armenian in their heart, but they will also use it as a
language, as a weapon and ideology for the benefit of the
strengthening, multiplication of the Armenian people, for the sake of
its future in Armenia, Artsakh and Diaspora.
The NA President also answered the numerous questions concerning the
participants of the meeting.
In the name of the attendees the RA Minister of Diaspora Hranush
Hakobyan thanked Hovik Abrahamyan for detailed and sincere talk. In
the NA Session Hall the participants of the meeting were taken photos
with the Head of the Parliament.
