YEREVAN. – The Ministry of Diaspora of Armenia continues to carry out activities with the Islamized and clandestine Armenians.

Diaspora Minister Hranush Hakopyan told the aforesaid to reporters, but she added that, for understandable reasons, this work is not widely presented.

“But we are pleased with the results. The Government of Armenia helps them visit the historical homeland.

“Moreover, an exception is made for the [respective] people over the age of 20 to be permitted to participate in the [ministry’s] Come Home [motherland visiting] program, which is intended for [Diaspora-Armenian] teenagers.

“Two of them were not only baptized, but they stayed in Armenia to learn Armenian. Later, they will return to Tigranakert [i.e., today’s Diyarbakir, Turkey] to open an Armenian school there. Hundreds of people in that region want to learn Armenian,” the minister stated, in particular.
