Armenian General Benevolent Union Marks its 100

 

 

The Armenian Diaspora is a means of widening the living space of our nation, a way to pass the cultural wealth of the nation to each other, a solid basis for economic and political investments, with the help of which the Diaspora can participate in awakening of the state and people,” said Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanian in Paris during the 100th celebration of Armenian General Benevolent Union (AGBU). “After gaining Independence in Armenia AGBU became one of those national structures, which actively participates in reconstruction of the Armenian State. I am sure that in the upcoming 10 years Armenia will have a steady progress. We do not have an alternative. Only by this way we can preserve the national originality of the new Diaspora, offering them a democratic and prospering Armenia, to which they can resemble and be proud of,” underlined Oskanian. In Paris Oskanian met with AGBU presidency and leaders of other Diaspora organizations. During the meetings issues of reconstruction of Armenian villages have been discussed, reports press office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
