    Over five thousand Armenians live in the Swiss Armenian community

    Over 5 000 people live today in the Armenian community of Switzerland.
    Here they are engaged in different things; most of the Armenians,
    however, earn through goldsmithery.

    Jean Pierre Sedef was the last Armenian to settle in the Swiss
    Armenian community. He told `Radiolur' correspondent Nvard Davtyan
    that he has the largest wedding saloon in Switzerland. He moved from
    France to Switzerland, as it is easier to live here.

    `Local Armenians are more open, far from politics and party games,'
    Jean Pierre Sedef says. However, Armenians see their great role in the
    recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Switzerland.

    Armenian scientists work at the European Nuclear Research Center in
    Geneva. President of the Union of Armenians of Switzerland Vahe
    Gabrash is delighted with the Armenian scientists.

    `It seems that the issue of preservation of the native language is
    under threat here. There is only one Armenian school in Geneva,' Vahe
    Gabrash told our correspondent.
