    A NIGHT SCHOOL FOR CHILDREN FROM ARMENIA WAS OPENED IN ISRAEL

    16:00, 31 May, 2013

    YEREVAN, MAY 31, ARMENPRESS: The Armenian Union of Israel "Ararat"
    has opened a night school for children from Armenia, where the
    Armenian language, the Armenian culture and history would be studied
    "for the preservation of ties with the historic homeland." As reports
    Armenpress referring to Vestnik Kavkaza, the school was founded due to
    the efforts of Mrs. Gevorkyan and the support of the Diaspora Ministry
    of Armenia.The ministry will control the learning and teaching activity
    of the new school.

    In recent times, this organization intensified its activity in Israel.

    For example, the Armenian Union of Israel conducts regular excursions
    for children to the Armenian district of Jerusalem and introduces
    them to the members of the local Armenian community and Armenian
    religious activists. Recently the Armenian Union of Israel has
    organized celebration of Armenian Easter.

    Activities of the Armenian Union of Israel caused amazement of many
    natives of the former USSR and the CIS, who live in this country. On
    the one hand, the activity is legal as Israeli laws guarantee the
    freedom of conscience, development of national cultures to all ethnic
    groups. On the other hand, Israeli Law on Returning gives a right for
    repatriation to Jews and their families and the majority of repatriated
    people from the post-Soviet space identify themselves as Jews. Of
    course they try to maintain ties with their historic homelands and
    compatriots, and unions and communities are established for these
    purposes. But all of them present themselves as "Jews-natives" from
    Ukraine, Belarus, Azerbaijan, Moldova, and so on, emphasizing that
    all of them are Jews, first of all, citizens of Israel, and raising
    of children is provided, according to Jewish traditions. That is why
    appearance of the Armenian Union of Israel was a surprise.
