I was born abroad, and I am the 4th generation to be born there, but the first language I spoke was Armenian. In other cities of my country, the communities are well organized, the children want to go to school, the camps are organized, but if Armenia has to do something, it should be done through "soft power," in the form of fairy tale books and materials. They should exist and be spread.

Պետությունը պետք է հաշվի նստի մեր այսօրվա քննարկման հետ ու հասկանա, որ չի կարող զիջման գնալ այն հարցում, որը հարյուր հազարավոր հայեր պահանջում են ճանաչել։

The state should finance teachers to teach Diaspora Armenians Armenian. In addition, there could be grants, as a result of which young people would participate in Armenian language courses.

«ԱՊԱԳԱ ՀԱՅԿԱԿԱՆԸ» նախ և առաջ հոգեբանորեն փորձում է վերականգնել հույսը, որ յուրաքանչյուր հայ ունի հնարավորություն գործելու, ճիշտ ընտրված թիմը, էլ ավելի է ներշնչում վստահություն, որ յուրաքանչյուրս կարող ենք գործել: Ինձ որպես արցախցու, մտահոգում է Արցախի և Հայաստանի կապը, և 15 նպատակներից, ամենաշատը կենտրոնացած եմ այդ կետի վրա:

I think that the Diaspora should play an active role in the internal life of Armenia, but our statesmen are not friendly and make even starting a business here a big headache.

According to research, we can develop an Armenian identity when we are in an Armenian environment. That identity depends on language, culture, dances, and communication with other Armenians, so it is necessary to create an Armenian environment.

I hope the future of Armenia includes women; its success depends on inclusiveness.
There are countless women that are contributing to Armenia. Often, they work quietly and in the background. That does not mean that they do not have a vision or a strategy, it just means we as a community are not highlighting their voices.

Only the state can unite the efforts of all Armenians, regardless of party, place of residence, and other circumstances. No public organization is able to do that. Our unification should be through the state mechanism. There is no other option.

We have a problem with spreading information about the opportunities available in Armenia among the Diaspora. It is not enough to say, “It is good here, come enjoy it.” You should also go and present everything specifically.

We need to develop minimal and maximal concepts and programs. The minimum is the preservation and evaluation of the existing state. The maximum is that which can be reached in principle and can be achieved in practice.
