YEREVAN -- On October 28, RA Minister of Diaspora Hranush Hakobyan
and Director of the Armenian Communities Department of the Calouste
Gulbenkian Foundation Razmig Panossian signed an Agreement on
Cooperation between the RA Ministry of Diaspora and the Calouste
Gulbenkian Foundation during a ceremony held at the ministry.
RA Minister of Diaspora Hranush Hakobyan greeted the guest of honor
and particularly mentioned: "It has already been one-and-a-half year
since Mr. Panossian assumed the honorable office of Director of the
Armenian Communities Department of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.
He is one of the exceptional officials who, in that period, visited
different parts of the Armenian Diaspora and conducted a correct
needs assessment. He examined the effectiveness of programs carried
out within Armenian communities and submitted his proposals to the
Foundation's administration.
As minister, I am grateful to the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation,
which carries out well-organized activities in the Armenian Diaspora.
The Foundation also carries out effective programs with other
structures and organizations in Armenia, including the Institute of
Ancient Manuscripts after Mesrop Mashtots (Matenadaran), the National
Academy of Sciences and Yerevan State University. The main goal of the
Foundation is to enhance Armenian Studies, and the main emphasis is
on the preservation and development of the Western Armenian language.
Director of the Armenian Communities Department of the Calouste
Gulbenkian Foundation Razmig Panossian expressed gratitude for
the reception, attached importance to the efforts for preservation
and development of the Western Armenian language and particularly
mentioned the following: "We have to make the Western Armenian language
a practical language for young Armenians, especially Armenian youth
in the Diaspora. I am pleased with the fact that the Ministry of
Diaspora is concerned about the issue since it is the most important
issue facing the Armenian Diaspora. If we can't preserve the Western
Armenian language, nobody will be able to do it."
Attaching importance to the preservation and development of Armenian
culture and language in the Armenian Diaspora and the need for
strengthening relations in science, education, publishing and culture
within the frames of the Armenia-Diaspora partnership, the RA Ministry
of Diaspora and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation signed an Agreement
on Cooperation through which they will collaborate to publish and
disseminate materials for the teaching of the Western Armenian
language, to support the creation of a Western Armenian language
teaching center, to provide scholarships to Diaspora Armenian students
pursuing courses in Armenian studies at Armenian universities and more.
