On his official visit to Argentina President Serzh Sargsyan today
visited the local organizations of the Armenian national parties -
the ARF, the AGBU, the ADL - and familiarized with the cultural,
charitable and sports activities of those organizations, as well as
with the works carried out by the local Armenian periodicals.
During the reception at the center of Armenia Cultural Association
after Edward Seferian the president thanked for the activities
carried out by the center and for the warm hospitality extended to
the Armenian delegation. At the reception the representatives of the
center handed a present carrying the note "We are honest soldiers" to
the Armenian President. On this occasion, the acknowledgment speech
of Serzh Sargsyan reads, "These words impose a high responsibility
because everyone of us is a soldier; a soldier within the framework
of his duties, a soldier within the framework of his responsibility,
a soldier for his ideal, and I am very delighted that our national
organizations and our national parties make us to be proud and this is
by what we are distinguished from others. I perfectly understand that
our opponents try to be active not only in this part of the world, but
also in other parts. They try to pursue their interests, and we do not
have the right to accuse them of that since it is their duty to do it.
Our goal is to reinvigorate efforts at keeping this fire burning in
the coming generation thereby reinforcing the Armenian statehood on
one hand and strengthening the Diaspora and our organizations on the
other hand. We can make each other stronger. Together we can do a lot.
I perfectly understand the aim of their activities in South America -
Argentina, Uruguay - and in other places. They also put their efforts
in places where we are stronger. Nevertheless, if we are to lose this
battle, after a long period of time we will be substituted by others.
I am confident that this will never happen. On the contrary, I am
confident that the number of our buildings and our supporters will
continue to grow. Indeed, owing to this ideal, we are all soldiers,
yes, we are soldiers, and we will continue to be soldiers. This is
the only way to strengthen Armenia. I am very grateful for your warm
reception. Thank you. Together we can do a lot."
At the AGBU Serzh Sargsyan presented his appreciation for the warm
reception and in the honorary guest book of the Union underscored that
the Armenian authorities highly appreciate the patriotic activities
carried out by the Union in the Diaspora, especially in those
communities which are geographically far from our Motherland. "What I
saw here is impressive and promising. I wish the AGBU center of Buenos
Aires to keep on carrying out its patriotic mission with the same
zeal and devotion in the name of the rise and long life of our people."
At the editorial office of the Sardarapat newspaper the Armenian
President stressed that he is very proud of our compatriots who have
found such an impressive national institution thousand km away from
our historical Õ°O...meland and continue to carry out with credit the
mission of keeping the Armenian spirit alive. The Armenian President
wished everybody inexhaustible vigor and strength in order to keep on
working with the same devotion in the name of the rise and long life
of our people. Moreover, the president wrote down the same words in
the honorary guest book of the editorial office.
Today, the Armenian President took part in the official opening
ceremony of Armenian Immigrants' Square (Armenia) in Buenos Aires.
Later on, the president held a meeting with representatives of the
Armenian organizations in Argentina and benefactors. At the request of
the president the meeting took place in a question-and-answer format
during which Serzh Sargsyan answered the questions of the participants
related to national preservation issues, the Armenia-Diaspora ties,
regional challenges, Armenia's internal and foreign policy, and
its economic priorities, development opportunities and a number of
other topics.

Church. The Armenian President laid a wreath at the memorial to the
