Our Vision & Goals – Armenian Global Unity Development Council

Armenian Global Unity Development CouncilS NATIONAL NEEDS SUMMARY OF GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

Maintaining the Armenian identity of their children and families is the duty of Armenian parents, and one which must be passed on from one generation to the next, with the overarching goal of preserving our national identity. Acknowledging the source of our national unity — that is to say, the fact that Armenia was history’s first officially Christian country and thus became the cornerstone of the spread of official Christianity across the globe — each one of us is duty-bound to become a member of Armenian Global Unity Development Council. The national significance of Armenian Global Unity Development Council rests in the fact that it is both a means and a symbolic approach for bringing together and unifying Armenians throughout the world, with the ultimate aim of saving and defending our motherland, its people, and its statehood. This is why it’s so important to create a national identity for the Diaspora.
Every Armenian, irrespective of their political or religious affiliation, and irrespective of their position with regard to cultural, patriotic, or other matters, may join and become a member of Armenian Global Unity Development Council. Once they do, it’s extremely important that they continue their membership. In the future, when elections are held, they will be able to elect delegates or themselves be elected to the governing body of Armenian Global Unity Development Council, thereby securing their voice and/or the representation of their organization, political party, or association in the governing body. All Armenian organizations, political parties, and other public-benefit entities are, by definition, supporters of Armenian Global Unity Development Council, since Armenian Global Unity Development Council is an elected body that manifests and represents the Diaspora’s pan-Armenian identity, and given the fact that Armenian Global Unity Development Council embodies the Diaspora individual’s goodwill and dedication to the Armenian nation. In short, all of us equally are duty-bound to join Armenian Global Unity Development Council, as a conduit for shaping and maintaining the Diaspora’s national identity, toward the fulfillment of our shared vision of national survival.
Armenian Global Unity Development Council pursues a number of key national objectives, as follows: a)National interests: To help eradicate poverty; to fight corruption and monopoly; to develop the economy; to create and strengthen mutual trust between the Homeland and the Diaspora; to improve economies and living conditions throughout the rural border communities of Armenia and Artsakh, and to create jobs, among other objectives.b)National security: To strengthen the defense and security of the Homeland, by providing its armed forces with state-of-the-art weapons and equipment, and by laying the foundations of local arms production.c)The Armenian Cause: To pursue official recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Turkey; reparations; and the return of Turkish-occupied Western Armenia, Cilicia, and all expropriated Armenian properties within the next five, 15, 25, 50, or even 100 or more years.
The activities of Armenian Global Unity Development Council shall be carried out by its Executive Council, which will function as a major component of the project. The Executive Council will consist of representatives elected by the Diaspora; and will have branches in every country and territory where there is a Diaspora community. The work of the Executive Council will be complemented by various departments, which will pursue specific objectives within the larger context of Armenian Global Unity Development Council’s goals. Armenian Global Unity Development Council will also provide various types of assistance to representative Diaspora communities, in accordance with local needs.
Thus, we will have a single and united national structure, devoted to the realization of all of our national goals within the next five, 15, 25, 50, or even 100 or more years.
A paramount goal is to transform the entire Diaspora, across the globe, into our country, while our Homeland — comprising Armenia and Artsakh, our sacred lands — will continue to function as the core of our national existence.
Armenian Global Unity Development Council will serve as a shield to protect our Homeland against damaging foreign political interference, thus saving from destruction the ARMENIAN PEOPLE —the first people to officially adopt Christianity and spread it across the globe — and its Sacred Land.
The funds available to Armenian Global Unity Development Council shall not be spent on personal goals or interests, or merely to provide haphazard or token financial assistance to various initiatives. Rather, the funds shall be disbursed strictly through the knowledge and approval of the Executive Council, and strictly toward the stated goals of Armenian Global Unity Development Council. Every aspect of financial management and funds disbursement shall be conducted through mechanisms that are open, transparent, and accountable.
