YEREVAN: On November 6, RA Minister of Diaspora Hranush Hakobyan met
with chairman of the board of the "Armenian Center" in Buenos Aires,
president of the "Arzumanyan-Metsaturyan" Foundation, Alberto Jerejian
and vice-president, Petros Hatcheian.
Hakobyan informed the guests that the Ministry will have the
opportunity to implement the program entitled "In support of solving
educational and cultural issues facing Armenian communities in Latin
American countries" with the sums granted by the RA Government. The
Minister mentioned that it is foreseen to send a Western Armenian
language teacher to Latin American countries with the purpose to
train local teachers starting in February 2010.
Due to the opening of Diaspora studies departments at Armenian
universities and the government's special attention toward issues
facing the Diaspora and the teaching of Western Armenian, and through
the combined efforts of the RA Ministry of Diaspora and the Armenian
communities, some Diaspora Armenian youth from several communities
will be able to visit the Homeland to receive their education and
return to their countries to teach in their communities.
The guests presented a number of cultural and educational issues,
particularly the need for preparing Armenian language and history
textbooks based on modern methods. Mrs. Hakobyan mentioned that the
Ministry will hold a forum entitled "State of instruction of Western
Armenian in the Diaspora" in the spring with the purpose to gather
notable Diaspora Armenian experts in Western Armenian and publish a
language instruction textbook.
The sides also discussed the issue of creating a film that would tell
about the Armenian community of Argentina, its issues and lifestyles.
"The history of the Armenian people is also shaped in the communities
and the RA Ministry of Diaspora has initiated projects to put the
history of the Diaspora Armenian communities on paper," Hranush
Hakobyan said in closing and proposed that the Argentinean Armenian
community also participate in that important project.
