Astarjian at his best! I have read some brilliant articles in the Weekly these past few weeks: Mensoian, Astarjian, Aghjayan, and Mouradian need to write more often.
Yes indeed,beautifully described,the THEN and the NOW.But lends an ear to the last paragraphs of his,which i sum up as a CHALLENGE.Who?
Nobody,all are busy as he further up paints with their contemporary lifestyles,though to not be so harsh and negative,i would say some feeble tries are being made to aid Patria(s).
While ,this servant of the Armenian people, here or on other forums ,in the press, now and then has reminded us that there is a way out of the DILEMMA Henry mentions:-
That of mustering up up our both Human Resources and Economic Power in Diaspora(s)through First of all a crystalization mode:-Into 16 fields of profdessions in which Armenians are mainly engaged,thus acquiring SOCIAL FORMATION…
Flor that is what we lack.You see Medical Health profession is one thing, Construction field Profession another, this as an example.What is more since more than 30 years I have been advocating .First time in Asbareez beginning 1978/9 under title:-
FOUR PRECONDITIONS FOR THE ARMENIAN DIASPOR:-.Explanation in brief what 4..
We have 2 only, the Spriritual,the Political parties only.We lack SOCIAL FORMATION,which I find best venue is through Grlouping into Prof.Colleagues Assoc. PCA´s. <SECOND ,we lack Concerted ECONOMIC POWER.Latter, can be acquired through the PCA´s. 5 On the scene already ,the health /Medicañl, The Bar, The Sportive , The engineers& sciences and Jewelleers(laater to enlap all furnishings.The 10 more such as travel /trransport,. Banking 6 Finance, etc.,
Through the Elite(3 persons elected for their 3 merits, Being most advanced in prof. most Economically and most culturally and with networking capacity the Interprofession Elite comes on stage,rather enters into national affairs Arena alongside the Politico and spiritual,thus forming REAL PARTICIPATION AND REPRESETNATION. Then the PCA´s establish the covted NATIONAL INVESTMENT TRUST FUND,first the Nucleus by our 5/6magnates.This will inspire confidence when a Billion dollars invdestment Fund is formed in Geneva,Ch and governed by them their monetary experts encouragind all our Millionaires to invest, all the wasy down to the Thousand dollars investors..
For cher ami, dear friend without ECONOMIC POWER supported by more than a 100,000 pca MEMBERS we are nobody and cannot achieve anything.
With mucho respeto,and
