The “Ari Tun” Program of the RA Ministry of Diaspora for homeland recognition provides young Armenians of the Diaspora with the opportunity to visit Armenia and become familiar with the homeland. However, the Program also has long-term goals. This is what Chief of Staff of the RA Ministry of Diaspora announced during a March 25 press conference held at the RA Ministry of Diaspora, reports Hayern Aysor.

“The “Ari Tun” Program is a unique “contribution” to the souls of young Armenians of the Diaspora, and the result will be seen in 10 or 20 years. Visiting Armenia between the ages of 13 and 18, they not only become familiar with and love their homeland, but also become strongly attached to the homeland. The seeds of that love can be reaped over time. Becoming successful citizens of their respective countries, making merit and establishing contacts, they gear all this towards the homeland and use it for the benefit of Armenia’s development,” Firdus Zakaryan noted.

Thanks to the “Ari Tun” Program, many young Armenians are currently studying at universities in Armenia and serving in the Armenian Army.
