Democratic Armenian Diaspora "DAD"

Re: Democratic Armenian Diaspora "DAD"

No, bad idea. Armenian government represents the Armenian nation - creating a fake diaspora government will only increase division between diaspora and Republic of Armenia. Diaspora must submit to the Republic and fight for the interests of Armenia and the RA government.

If it will be created as a consultative body, with clearly outlined and limited functions, it wouldn't fail; it will strengthen and enhance Armenian government representation throughout the world. Let’s see further developments and its clean cut idea final description.

NoT, A bad idea.

There, I fixed it for you.

Come on this has been long in coming and it must be eventually done.......I hope it picks up.

The Armenian government (not much fault to them) takes no action (or give guidance) on Diaspora and just leaves it a each individual Armenians or so called community representatives to do what they can, which by nature can never be efficient.
Everybody is worried about corruption be it in Armenian government or some Diaspora organization but if you don’t do what you know must be done then nothing will ever improve.

A united Armenian Diaspora (if we ever get it) that keeps Armenians involved would be a force to reckon with that our enemies would fear and be helpless to do anything about it because it is scattered with real political pull and Armenian voice representation in each host country channeling all resources through as one force maybe one day in harmony with Armenia.

Sounds like Serj has taken their advices seriously.....channel the large Diasporan influence into one effective force targeted at our cause, to reach critical mass, to establish an a think tank and take advantage of all our resources that are getting waisted in Diaspora where it can turn into a powerful force to better Armenia. To have unity with the Armenian government and have real representation of Diaspora in the Parliament

To built that two lane highway bridge from LA to Hawaii.....no wait.

Re: Democratic Armenian Diaspora "DAD"

Hey here is a challange for ya- name one democratic establishment free of corruption. Im sorry did u say u cant think of any? So let me get this straight then- the diaspora who has been throwing resources away by supporting strategies which have made polititions and lobiests wealthy while providing nothing tangible in return is now going to create a more efficient mechanism to waist their remaining and future resources. Yup that realy does sound like a idea the diaspora would come up with alright.

It seems that part of the reason the Diaspora Minister announced plans on creating an upper chamber in Armenia's legislature is to prempt this project. Smart move by Sargsyan and co, also a better idea than the DAD.

It is the DAD's outcome! And it is DAD that will elect the upper house/chamber representatives.

That is to be seen. The point is that if DAD or something like it comes into being, it should be part of Armenia, not separate from it, and not another diaspora org. It should have some deeper connections with the Homeland.

"It should have some deeper connections with the Homeland. "
I think this is a important point and i believe that this and other organizations should not only have such contact with the homeland but further promote it among its own members and in the general diaspora.
"Name one human made institution that is free of corruption, as long as man is involved you will have corruption. "
This is mostly true but no other institutions except perhaps the religious ones do it so well.
