Armenia needs unification of pan-Armenian potential, not division -  MP

ArmInfo.  Armenia needs the unification of pan-Armenian potential to resolve existing problems, not widespread division. This is what Kristine Vardanyan, a member of  the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia from the opposition  "Armenia" faction, wrote on her Facebook page.

According to her post, Armenia is truly a country of enormous  opportunity, both with and without the Armenian diaspora, but it is  essential to fully utilize the diaspora's potential in every sense.  "We cannot afford the luxury of failing to realize the potential of  communities formed in different countries around the world,  regardless of our will. It is in this context that the Diaspora  Conference held in Paris these days is important. 150 representatives  from more than 25 countries discussed important issues on the pan-  Armenian agenda, sought solutions to our problems, and considered how  to harness our potential for the sake of statehood. This is the  function that the state should fulfill best. However, today, those  who wield state resources have abandoned the sources of our strength  in order to present us, in any situation, as alone and weak, with no  choice but to adapt to the situation and fulfill all demands. When we  talk about alternatives, this is one of the most important  directions: uniting the pan-Armenian potential to solve our problems,  not widespread division, where we give in to everything under the  guise of hopelessness," the RA National Assembly member noted.

As a reminder, a conference on diaspora mobilization was held in  Paris on April 11-12. The conference will aim to address the  unprecedented concerns and challenges that have shaken Armenians in  recent years. The conference's goal was to collectively discuss the  situation, mobilize the diaspora, and formulate a unified and focused  position on protecting and strengthening Armenian statehood, the  Armenian diaspora, and, more generally, the interests of the Armenian  people and the Armenian Question. The conference brought together  approximately 150 representatives from more than 25 countries,  including community leaders, heads of organizations, public and  political figures, academics, specialists, businesspeople, and youth.
