Sargis Najaryan: Armenia should strive for Diaspora's trust
Today, Sargis Najaryan, representative of the Armenian community of Lebanon, director of Armenian Catholic Patriarchate Information Office, editor of "Masis" weekly newspapre, said: "State officials call for repatriation, but whether the repatriate is sure that everything will be fine." "There are many cases of crime in all countries of the world, but people do not run away from the country because they know that they can go on strikes, and that everyone is equal before the law. But there is no equality in Armenia." When asked whether the Diaspora trusted the concepts voiced during the 6th Armenia-Diaspora Forum, Sargis Najaryan considered it hard to give a definite answer to the question, but we should be sure of the realization of our goals. "Mutual trust is the precondition of our unity and realization of our desires. The atmosphere of the conference was generally united. That tendency was really noticable. But the upcoming years will show its results." Sargis Najaryan emphasized that some Diaspora Armenians are uncertain about some issues connected with Armenia, but the reason is not their fault; the situation has forced them to be uncertain, so Armenia should strive for Diaspora trust. "Words cannot make you trust anyone. It should be shown in actions. There is a lack of confidence concerning the working style. Especially Diaspora Armenian businessmen are not confident with Armenia, but I think that this problem can be solved. We should reach mutual trust," concluded Sargis Najaryan.
