Office of WAC, Russia's Armenians Union inaugurated in Yerevan
An office of the World Armenian Congress (WAC) and Russia's Armenians
Union was inaugurated in downtown Yerevan on Saturday.
``We have much work to do improve the socio-economic situation in the
republic, settle the Karabakh conflict and gain an international
recognition of the genocide against Armenians,'' president of both
organisations, well known Russian businessman and UNESCO Goodwill
Ambassador Ara Abramyan said. In particular, these rehabilitation
efforts in the republic envisage attraction of investments,
computerization of educational establishments, construction of
schools and hospitals, several other charity projects and broadening
relations with the foreign Armenian diaspora.
The office of the foresaid organisations is located in the overhauled
building, where the Soviet Armenian Trade Ministry and then the
republican Social Security Ministry were earlier headquartered. The
Armenian center for the Russian language development, which Abramyan
will finance, will be also located there.
``The inauguration of the offices is very important, as the World
Armenian Congress and Russia's Armenians Union solve very important
for Armenian tasks, and the establishment of the Yerevan office is
mainly aimed at pooling the resources of the republic and the
diaspora for development of the homeland,'' Abramyan pointed out.
According to him, in 2007 the WAC is expected to open nine offices in
various Armenian regions, as well as offices in Washington and Los
Angeles.
