INTRODUCTION
The Proposed Outline Plan for Armenia-Diaspora cooperation is an open-ended report that may be continuously updated through revisions, additions, and detailed partial studies. It is based on years of observation, analysis and meditation about the past, the present and the future of Armenians in general and the Armenian Diaspora in particular.

Who we are?

What are we doing? . .

What should be done? Are simple questions for a problem as complex as collective life can be. They are not abstract philosophical queries. Finding answers to them is an essential and necessary prerequisite for the definition of our national purpose.

Since time immemorial, in the absence of a national self evaluation, credo and vision statement we were not able to define our national purpose. Only on rare occasions, heroic actions of the few have turned our passive vegetation into dynamic renaissance. Most of the time, dominated by successive external forces, we have gone astray, and passively we have survived, turning tools and means into aims to achieve.

Hence, it is an absolute must, through a collective introspection and objective analysis, to formulate a general and comprehensive vision of the present state of our national affairs. And, through a unifying credo to define a system of thought and its constituent paradigm and point-of-reference, and then only devise the necessary organizational structure, tools and means for the achievement of goals and objectives within a plausible framework of priorities.
