Zareh Sinanyan: Working with Diaspora youth much more effective than  working with olders people

ArmInfo. Working with Diaspora youth is much more effective than working with older people and tends to contribute to the strengthening of Armenian statehood. This was stated by Zareh Sinanyan, High Commissioner for Diaspora Affairs, at a March 17 meeting of the RA National Assembly Committee on Science, Education, Culture, Diaspora, Youth, and Sports.

He stated that this is obvious, as young people are not burdened by  the Armenian people's past or complexes. As an example, Sinanyan  cited the "Young Ambassador" program, which has proven its  effectiveness. Today, there are five traditional structures in the  Diaspora that cannot come to terms with Armenian reality and attempt  to obstruct the work of state institutions. Nothing of the sort is  happening with young people.

Sinanyan noted that the youth's visits to their historical homeland  and their meetings with members of the National Assembly and  government members leave a lasting impression on them. The next such  group will arrive at the end of August this year.
