Armenian Network (ing)!

[gamavor]

One of the reasons why Armenian Diaspora (without any divisions to East-West) has clearly failed in the past 90 or so years is lack of communication between different bodies of the Diaspora. Instead of finding unifying grounds on most important Armenian issues, the Armenian Diaspora childishly has been engaged in partisan and religious games, as if all of these matter, especially for people who are foreign to the respective establishment (state). Not only that but in some extreme cases, (Lebanon comes to mind) the Armenian Diaspora completely alienated itself from the Armenian issues and has been engaged in futile self-important political games.

 

Just like when you go to any self-respecting restaurant the owner or the manager will try to treat you with respect and dignity, because they don't know who you are and who you know and what your "networking" is, in the same manner the Armenian Diaspora can become really a big player on the global scale (thank you America for the globalization:)), by acting solidarity as one body with one agenda. Our Diaspora is widespread in more than 70 countries. In some there are influential Armenian groups, in others our compatriots are more concerned about the price of the carpets and gold, but in both cases if they can act and react as one body when needed, clowns like Nicholas Burns and the American State Department, will be very, very careful every time they mention Armenia.

Any suggestions.

I title you Ceasar Gamavor of diaspora Armenians if you can unite them.

No need for Caesar at this time, Johannes. When and if needed we can always rely on Harut. At this time we need more compation for each other and minding our own business.

 

Pay to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to [A rebuke of emperor worship.] God the things that are God's.

Living here is states for a long time now, I never, ever encountered, at list among majority! one who never been in Armenia had anything positive to say, at list the first words comes out of ones mouth is "Hayastantsiner" and would go out of there way to self comfort (lack of a better word) the logic to excuse themselves to disengage from every aspect of now independent Armenia.

 

On contrary to there host counties in which they lived in, you could see tears in there eyes at slightest remembrances.

Even here in this forum we have witnessed this, but these people would not hesitate one second to dance the belly dance, or sing the songs

My apologies too few who are real patriots, I guess if we finally would not learn to see us as ONE.....or we as a Nation are doomed.

 

Those in power have obligation to future generations, use every ounce of there energy to plant the positive outlook, many problems still remain, and many would accompany Armenia in the future, but this kind of a stand hardly helps for the bright future.
