    "Brazilian Armenian community comprises 30 thousand people. It is
    the fifth generation growing up there," chairman of Brazil branch of
    "Hayastan" All-Armenian Fund Oshin Leon Mosditchian said in news
    conference.

    He said there are Armenian churches in Brazil, one Armenian school
    where 90-100 schoolchildren are studying and several Armenian
    institutions.

    Representatives of Brazilian Armenian community Eduardo Mekbekyan and
    Arshak Janyan told the reporters that knowledge of Armenian language
    and decreasing number of the community are the main challenges.

    "A very little part of Brazilian Armenians know Armenian language,
    in Armenia too few people speak Portuguese," said the reps of Armenian
    community.

    According to them Armenians and Brazilian Armenians fail to efficiently
    communicate through English, too. Hence, Armenia faces serious
    challenges in keeping communication with Brazilian Armenian community.
