Re: elegy
Yes, there are issues that our diaspora needs to recognize and find ways to ameliorate. Armenia and the Diaspora most work closely together in these matters, for opening up doors for Armenians to use their skills and expertise. I too wish to learn more about what I can do for this end, and start doing it. Because as things stand, emigration from Armenia seems to be the only "solution" available for its inhabitants who feel cheated by the system. Some people say that it is a mark of people being unpatriotic, ignoring the element of how many of these individuals have been cheated by the system they have participated in all their lives. I understand how geopolitics force Armenia in its difficult internal situation, but we here in the diaspora cannot just sit around and point fingers at them, and likewise have Hayastantsis do the same back to us.
Not every aspect of being divided is bad, it is good to be distributed around the world so we can work on different aspects of our existence, be exposed to different opportunities and realities and expand our knowledge of the world and its relation to us. However, this all becomes spoiled when we take these divisions to the heart, and shun eachother for superficial differences. So perhaps it can pay if we can be more humble when approaching eachother when our differences become apparent, knowing that we come from different realities but are willing to discuss things and help eachother instead of running away from eachother.
