Marseliatsi_M26 Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Ethnic Armenian sir Ara Darzi appointed Minister of Healthcare of Great Britain 05.07.2007 15:11 GMT+04:00 /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Prime Minister of Great Britain has appointed practicing surgeon Ara Darzi (Terzian) as Minister of Healthcare. Ara Darzi was born in Iraq in a family with Armenian descent, which escaped the Genocide of 1915. But the greater part of his life he has spent in Ireland, independent French journalist Jean Eckian told the PanARMENIAN.Net. His father, the son of a Genocide survivor Vartkes Darzi settled in Dublin, in a city which did not even have an Armenian community. He has raised his son as an Armenian. Ara Darzi himself remains greatly interested in Armenian issues. In a recent interview, Dr. Darzi said he must add his knowledge about Armenia. “I would love to visit and do something constructive in Armenia. I have not had the chance until now, but I hope to get more involved in the coming years. I want to go to my roots. I have served in many countries around the world. Why not also Armenia? I would like to volunteer and even take some essential equipment to Armenia to train other doctors there. All I need is the right opportunity,” he said. http://www.panarmenian.net/news/eng/?nid=22895 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
