Razmik Panossian gave a long interview on December 10th to the Beirut-based Aztag newspaper, outlining some of the activities related to Western Armenian which the Armenian Communities Department has been involved with during the past year. He also explained some aspects of the philosophy behind the Department’s approach. Importantly, he noted that the revitalisation of Western Armenian should be diaspora-centred, that the key problem that needs to be addressed is the issue of the transmission of the language to young generations, and that there is a need to start thinking of ways to help make the language a means to discover the world.
