“ORGANIZATION AND COOPERATION ARE THE FOUNDATIONS OF ANY COMMUNITY”
Stated Aram I In Kuwait

On Tuesday evening His Holiness Aram I presided over the 50th anniversary
celebrations of the school. In the end of the festivities, Catholicos Aram I
said, “a diaspora community is not an agglomeration of individuals. A
community is an organic whole with shared history, identity and common
goals. Therefore, it is imperative that the community in Kuwait organizes
itself in such a way that all institutions work together and not compete
with one another. He then mentioned three points: one, the 50th anniversary
of the school in Kuwait demonstrates the will of the diaspora. Two, the
school survived despite all difficulties because of the support of all the
institutions within the community. Three, the memorabilia prepared for this
celebration should be a reminder of the memory why the community was created
and a symbol affirming our peoples’ will to live.

After the address of His Holiness Aram I, Mrs. Heranoush Hagopian, Minister
of Diaspora in Armenia read the message of President Serge Sarkissian.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
