In the framework of his working visit to Moscow, President Serzh Sargsyan participated at the celebrations dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the Union of Armenians of Russia, an All-Russian non-governmental organization.

The President praised relentless work of the Union and its numerous projects implemented in Armenia. The President of Armenia congratulated the Union on the jubilee and wished new success, productive work for the benefit of our people and fulfillment of the national aspirations.

“Because the largest Armenian Diaspora is in the Russian Federation, we constantly follow and take notice of your progress and problems. It also explains the fact that the organization which incessantly builds up its capacities – the Union of Armenians of Russia – strives to be among the leaders of the All-Armenian projects. Years of persistent work resulted in the Union’s becoming a unique mainstay around which the Armenians of Russia unite,” President Sargsyan said in his remarks.

Serzh Sargsyan highlighted the role of our compatriots in Spyurk, who after the reestablishment of the Armenian independence together with their brothers and sisters in Armenia bear full responsibility for success and difficulties, contributing to the advancement and strengthening of the Motherland. At the same time, they serve as a bridge in the interstate relations, fostering cooperation and strengthening relations. In this context, President Sargsyan spoke about rich history and great human potential of the Armenian Diaspora of Russia.

“The contribution of our compatriots to the development of the Armenian-Russian cooperation is remarkable, particularly, regarding its economic component. It’s no accident that Russia is our strategic partner and reliable colleague. It’s also no accident that Russia is the leader in the area of investment projects implemented in Armenia. This is a manifestation of exemplary interstate relations which are promoted also by the Armenian community of Russia,” Serzh Sargsyan said, underscoring that our task now is to further expand the Armenia-Diaspora relations and ensure the proper use of our world-spread compatriots’ potential.

By the decree of the President of Armenia, the Chairman of the Union of Armenians of Russia Ara Abrahamian was awarded the Order of Honor for his significant contribution to the deepening of the Armenian-Russian friendship and protection of national interests. At the event dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the Union, the President of Armenia congratulated Ara Abramian and handed the state award.
