YEREVAN, JULY 24, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. Young Sargis who has left Syria for Armenia within the framework of the Come Home program of the RA Ministry of Diaspora decided again to return Armenia in two months and permanently settle in Armenia. In any case, he told the Noyan Tapan correspondent about it. In Sargis' words, it is already his second visit to Armenia, but he sees great difference between those two visits. "When I first came to Armenia, it was a more Soviet country, it has greatly changed to good now," Sargis said. Sargis likes architecture in Armenia in which he sees reflection of the Armenian soul. He likes the people's warm attitude, hospitality and does no like the indefferent attitude of inhabitants of Armenia towards cultural values: "It is minor for them," he mentioned with pain. In Sargis' words, it is also bad that young people from Armenia smoke heavily. Tamar from Turkey also expressed a great wish for living in Armenia, though, as she mentioned, the number of people assisting Armenians increased in Turkey. Anahit from Georgia is also among the participants of the Come Home program. Though she is already for the fourth time in Armenia, but in her wrods, she this time as well found Armenia changed: Yerevan has changed, it became beautiful, people's clothes changed. "Armenia develops, and it makes me happy," Anahit said. She also has a goal to move to Armenia for permanent residence. To recap, Diasporan Armenian young people at the age of 18-25 arrived in Armenia within the framework of the Come Home program implemented by the RA Ministry of Diaspora. They live in families which are inhabitants of Armenia, closer get acquainted with the life of the Homeland, deepen their knowledge about the Armenian culture, history and other national values.
