"AZG" DAILY INTERVIEW WITH THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNION OF ARMENIANS IN RUSSIA AND WORLD ARMENIAN CONGRESS ARA ABRAHAMIAN ABOUT RA PRESIDENT'S VISIT
- As it was expected, the visit took place in rather warm and friendly atmosphere. Important meetings were held between Serge Sargsian and Russian President Dmitri Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. Important issues of Armenian-Russian relations were discussed, first, issues of gas prices and widening of cooperation in that sphere, widening of Russian investments in the Armenian economy and implementation of joint programs. Issues of scientific-technical and technical military cooperation were discussed. The details of the negotiations were not announced but judging from the official announcements of the two sides, very important arrangements were made. Anyway, during the meetings with the journalists the two Presidents expressed satisfaction of the meeting and negotiations. - What else would be worth to mention in connection with the Armenian President's visit to Russia?
- It is already traditional that the Armenian President met with the representatives of the Armenian community the first day of the visit. It was not an official meeting. The President considered necessary to speak of the inner political situation of Armenia and those steps that are taken by the Armenian authorities to strengthen the stability and to solve the available problems with the efforts of the Armenian community.
Along with it Serge Sargsian briefly represented the Armenian foreign policy mainly touching upon Armenian-Turkish relations and settlement of Karabakh conflict. He also assessed generally Armenia-Diaspora relations. In this sense, it was pleasant to hear that the President is forming a structure that will always cooperate with the Armenian communities of all over the world. Serge Sargsian also touched upon the organizational potential of the Armenian community of Russia. After the meetings with the Russian President and Prime Minister Serge Sargsian invited the Russian journalists, editor-in-chiefs, well-known TV companies and influential political figures to dinner at the Armenian Embassy in Russia. During the dinner not-official discussions were held about urgent problems of the Armenian domestic and foreign policy. - Mr. Abrahamian, according to several Armenian newspapers, President Serge Sargsian was not satisfied with the activities of the Armenian community in Russia considering not well organized and it was mainly directed to the Union of Armenians in Russia, does it correspond to reality?
- I don't' think that it's right to speak of the Armenian President's displeasure at the Union of Armenians in Russia. What was said in reality is not news for us. I have spoken of it many times. The Union of Armenians in Russia couldn't be able to combine the whole potential and resources of the Armenian community of Russia. It's a serious issue. We understand clearly that the 9-year efforts of the Union of Armenians in Russia would be more efficient if there was the state assistance of Armenia to gather the Armenian community and not to divide it into parts. It is hopeful that the President mentioned that today the Armenian state is able and ready to help the Armenian communities. It is very important for us that this help will be not so much financial but moral-political directed to gathering of the Armenian communities around those authoritative organizations that are held in high respect in the corresponding country.
In this connection hardly any Armenian community can compete with the Union of Armenians in Russia. Our activities are known both in Armenia and in Russia, and our organization has always been an example for the national organizations that tried to cooperate efficiently with the Russian authorities. I think that we can become more serious and practical for the authorities of Russia if the new President of Armenia invest more efforts to gather round our authoritative organization those who are not involved yet in public work.
