YEREVAN. – On the one hand the state pays great importance to our compatriots, their ability and opportunities in abroad. On the other hand it gives no chance to be proud, inspired positively and devoted entirely to the homeland, representative of ARF Dashnaktsutyun bureau Hrant Margaryan said at a conference, where the heads of Diaspora structures participate.

“What kind of a homeland do authorities provide our people? It is a homeland where 20 years after the independence poverty, joblessness, rudimentary economy, social insecurity, injustice and privileged criminal, half-criminal class familiarity still exists. It is a homeland where people still continue to emigrate,” Margaryan stated in his speech and added that the brightest example is the non-withdrawal of Armenia’s signature from Armenian-Turkish protocols, despite the decision of the Constitutional Court.

Armenia’s society is polarized. There can be no cooperation, unity and solidarity under the conditions of extreme polarization.   It is hard to love the homeland, which is buried in corruption, where injustice and confusion in national issues exist.  No matter how hard and unacceptable is the situation in Armenia, we should keep even brighter patriotism in us and to value it in us, Margaryan concluded.
