YEREVAN.— Armenia-Diaspora relations continue developing dynamically, though some elements of the mutually beneficial cooperation require more consistent work, Armenian President said.

In recent years, the relations with Diaspora were taken to a new level, Serzh Sargsyan said on Saturday addressing the delegates of the congress Republican Party of Armenia.  

“Our potential, hundreds of examples of solidarity and cooperation of all Armenians, multiplied our competitive advantages. At the same time, the results obtained so far do not reflect the diversity and depth of our collective abilities,” he said.

Serzh Sargsyan believes implementation of strategic programs jointly with the structures of the Diaspora, creating conditions for cooperation between Armenia and the Diaspora, and the effectiveness of mutual engagement, remain valid.

Speaking about the projects to be implemented in the coming years, President Sargsyan pointed out increasing university scholarships given to students from the Diaspora, the expansion of the cooperation programs with educational centers in the Diaspora, the implementation of joint research in the field of preservation of the Armenian identity.

“The results of the programs, jointly implemented with worldwide spread Armenian Diaspora, will become tangible in the near future,” he assured.
