11:29, 17 October, 2013
YEREVAN, OCTOBER 17, ARMENPRESS: The Department of Armenian Archaeology
and Ethnography of the University of California intends to implement
an Armenian Studies program in the secondary schools of the State
aiming at the increasing the interest of the Armenian youth towards
the Armenian cultural heritage.
The head of the Department of Armenian Archaeology and Ethnography of
the University of California Grigori Areshyan told Armenpress that
in the framework of the program the schoolchildren will be taught
the language, the history and the culture of Armenia.
"Only with pointing at the being an heir of the Genocide-survivors
and learning the Armenian language it is not possible to preserve
the Armenian identity. Other steps are necessary to be done and
different events should be held. Our program will be implemented in
the secondary schools, as there are many Armenian children learning
there. A considerable part of them is interested in the language and
the history of Armenia, and that mainly comes from their families. Our
children will understand the history and the value of their being
Armenian. It is a very important program for us", - said the head
of the Department of Armenian Archaeology and Ethnography of the
University of California Grigori Areshyan.
The Department of Armenian Archaeology and Ethnography of the
University of California was established in March 2013 aiming at the
implementation of educational programs on the preservation of the
Armenian culture and history in the Diaspora.
