    ARA ABRAHAMIAN POINTS TO NECESSITY OF ACTIVE WORK WITH YOUTH

    YEREVAN, MAY 17, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. The Armenian President
    has expressed readiness to provide all possible assistance to the work
    of the World Armenian Congress. World Armenian Congress President Ara
    Abrahamian declared this at the May 17 press conference in Yerevan. He
    pointed to the active work of WAC in different directions, including
    research and humanitarian ones.

    At present the expert group created within the framework of WAC is
    working at collecting documents relating to the Armenian Genocide for
    the purpose of applying to the International Court with a lawsuit. A
    preparatory work on organization of the third congress of the Armenians
    of Western Armenia is also being done: the second analogous congress
    was held in 1919. At the same time, according to Ara Abrahamian, in
    contrast to the Union of Armenians of Russia that united the majority
    of Armenian organizations of that country, during 2.5 years of its
    existence WAC was not able to unite the Diasporan Armenians.

    According to him, WAC had possibilities to open branches in many
    countries but no corresponding conditions have been created for
    this yet: there are problems inside many organizations and parties
    in the Diaspora: "The Armenian communities in the U.S., in France
    and in other countries are not ready for opening our branches, we
    failed to work together". He pointed to the necessity of more active
    work with the youth: "The youth is our future and we should foster
    the feeling of consolidation and unity in the young people, which we
    lack". As for WAC's possible participation in the home political life
    of Armenia Ara Abrahamian declared: "We cannot be indifferent to the
    political situation in Armenia, we should take part in it as much as
    the Armenian legislation permits this: participate but not intervene".
