Lilit Galstyan. "We are executing a homeland-recognizing program."
July 28 2014
The twentieth Student Forum of All-Armenian Educational and Cultural
Union launched since July 19, which has brought Armenian university
students from 9 countries to Armenia. They will stay in Armenia for 17
days. As said by the Chair of All-National Armenian Educational and
Cultural Union, Lilit Galstyan, in the conversation with Aravot.am,
"In these 17 days, the young people will have the opportunity to get
in touch with their fatherland. We give them the opportunity to listen
to a series of lectures on nationwide topics that refer to our
cultural heritage, identity, problems that regardless of geography are
common for any Armenian youth. These young people, as established
citizens of any country, tomorrow, will take on commitment to the
organization of the Armenian communities, and will assume leadership
role, an editor, teacher, school principal, and head of a department...
In other words, we are educating a generation with national commitment
and, why not, thinking that many of these young after receiving a good
university education will one day return to Armenia and will bring
their participation in the formation of our homeland." As said by Ms.
Galstyan, the matter that they are marking the twentieth anniversary
of their program this year proves that they have reached the goal, and
the program is looked for and awaited. All-National Union has
conducted analysis, according to which, many who have come to Armenian
within the framework of the Forum, then return again, settle in
Armenia and make a family. As said by Lilit Galstyan, they are
executing a fatherland-recognizing program, which is aimed at the
youth to be filled with the word of the root and educated with
national commitments. Among their many meetings, some have become
traditional. One of them is visiting the Yerevan State University and
meeting with YSU Rector Aram Simonyan. "It is very important and there
is sentimentalism in him, because the source of the Yerevan State
University and the All-National is Nicole Aghbalyan. In 1919,
Aghbalyan, as a minister, founded the University, in 1928, he founded
the All-National," mentioned our interlocutor. He added that visits
were planned to one of Artsakh Defense Army Detachments, Artsakh
Parliament; attend the lecture on "The Armenian alphabet and invention
of letters as an important support for our identity" held in Oshakan,
a meeting at Tsakhkadzor "Tiramayr of Armenia" camp in Tsakhkadzor and
so on. Tovmas Poghosyan will deliver a lecture at the Folk School on
Armenian folk music theme. The young people have already managed to
listen to French-Armenian Armenologist, Claude (Armen) Mutafian's
lecture entitled Kingdom of Cilicia, and took part in his and Hrant
Margaryan's discussion entitled "Who is Armenian? Identity." ...The
program is on.
