The Pan-Armenian Games

[elesarus]

On 27 April 1997 the World Committee of the Pan-Armenian Games (WCPAG) is founded. The First Games were held in 1999. the Second Games in 2001. I think that the realization of this Games is a great opportunity for the Armenians all over the world.

The main aims of the WCPAG are:

1. Strengthening the unity of Armenia and the Diaspora, which is in interests of the whole Armenian nation,

2. Strengthening the cooperation of the Armenian traditional sports organizations of the Diaspora in the sphere of athletics,

3. Reconstructing and launching new sport centers in Armenia and rising the interest of the youth of Armenia towards athletics.

These aims also provided the support of such Armenian traditional sports organizations of Disapora as AGBU-AYA, HOMENETMEN, HOMENMEN, ARARAT.

So I think that the World Committee of the Pan-Armenian Games has done much both for Armenia and the Diaspora during these 5 years. Hope to see the Third Pan-Armenian Games realized with more success.

 

I hope to read the opinions of other participants of this forum.
