The Armenia-Diaspora relations are a priority for Armenia, RA President Robert Kocharian said at the third Armenia-Diaspora Forum. In his words, the forum has become an unexampled event from the viewpoint of the items discussed and the number of participants. "The Armenia-Diaspora relations are a priority especially taking into account the process of globalization. With joint efforts Armenia, Diaspora and the Armenian Church can build a state we can be proud of," the President said.

At that he remarked that the further directions of relations between Armenia and Diaspora for the next several years were determined. "This forum is a unique representative body of the Armenianhood. However, it's premature to give any assessment to it. The speeches and proposals of the participants will be systematized and laid into the basis of the further activities of the Armenian government. We should create a unified field of activities and avoid any issue that can disunite Armenians," Robert Kocharian said, reported newsarmenia.ru
