Christian democrats’ leader: Armenian communities ought to pay greater attention to Armenia’s problems
YEREVAN, May 18. /ARKA/. Armenian communities worldwide ought to pay greater attention to Armenia’s problems, Khosrov Harutyunyan, Armenian Christian Democrats’ leader and former prime minister and ex-speaker of Armenian National Assembly, said at Novosti International Press Center on Monday.
“All of us must understand that we are one nation with common problems.”
Harutyunyan said that lobbyist organizations of Armenian communities in the United States concentrate all their efforts on recognition of the fact of Armenian genocide.
He thinks if they focused even 20% of their efforts on Karabakh problem “we’d reach greater success here”.
“The thing is that lobbyist organizations pay little attention to national self-determination right as the only principle for settling Karabakh conflict”, Harutyunyan said.
He thinks the Armenian Diaspora is both wealth and problem for Armenia.
“Armenian communities overseas should understand that their decisions should have impact on our children’s fate.” M.V.-0---
