Solely 4,400 people have joined the “Justice Within Armenia” signature campaign, since diaspora Armenians are detached from the events unrolling in Armenia.
Serj Tankian: Diaspora is quite detached from events in Armenia
STEPANAKERT, DECEMBER 5, ARTSAKHPRESS: Famous musician Serj Tankian, who is founder and lead singer of the world-renowned American-Armenian rock band System of a Down (SOAD), stated about the abovementioned at a press conference on Monday, News.am reports.
“It’s very important to us that the signatories be Armenian; [but] this factor reduces the number of signatories,” said Tankian. “Besides that, diaspora Armenians are quite detached from the societal, economic, [and] political events of Armenia. This is very important to us to realize that Armenia and the [Armenian] Diaspora are more detached [from one another] than we imagined.
“Diaspora Armenians understand very little about the events in Armenia.”
The said signature campaign was launched on September 21, the Independence Day anniversary of Armenia.
