The Crisis of the Armenian Community of Syria as a Ground for the Reevaluation of the Pan-Diasporan Priorities (In the Context of World Processes)
Avakian, Knarik · 2018
Argues that the displacement of thousands of Syrian-Armenians by the war beginning in 2011 (to Lebanon, the Gulf, North America, Europe, and to Armenia and Artsakh) demands a fundamental reevaluation of pan-diasporan priorities. Calls for a coordinated moral, ideological, and practical reorganization of diaspora communal life led jointly by diaspora structures, the Armenian churches (Apostolic, Evangelical, Catholic), the national parties (Hunchak, ARF Dashnaktsutyun, Ramkavar), benevolent organizations, media, schools, and the homeland state. Frames repatriation and homeland-diaspora coordination as an epoch-making mission.
