The AGBU Virtual College successfully completed its internet based summer and fall courses in Armenian language, history, and culture that are offered in six languages, and is preparing to start its third semester with the participation of hundreds from around the world. The New York, Paris and Yerevan Summer Intern Programs were successfully implemented, as were the di- asporan Armenian youth trips to Armenia and the scouting jamborees at Camp Antranik. In addition to the continuing support provided to the American University of Armenia through the AGBU en- dowment fund, more than 300 top students pursuing higher education in various countries of the world re- ceived scholarships in various professional fields, particularly the performing arts, social sciences and the preparation of clergy. For the second year in a row, a new group of our talented young stars in the performing arts performed in concert at New York’s Carnegie Hall. Besides the AGBU’s permanent programs and investments in Armenia and Karabakh, particularly the ongoing support of the Children’s Centers, the Senior Dining Centers and the sponsorship of Armenia’s Chess Federa- tion, the construction of the sports and cultural complex in Nubarashen was completed, and the Writers’ Union of Armenia was endowed by a new printing house. Being particularly solicitous of the spiritual role played by the Armenian Church, AGBU continued its close re- lationship with the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin through the improvement of resources for the preservation and study of treasures of Armenian spiritual and cultural heritage, as well as through its contributions toward continuing construction programs. Our European district and the Nubarian Library engaged in noteworthy activity through scientific congresses organized to acquaint international academic and political circles with issues involving the just rights of the Armenian people, the protection of our cultural monuments, as well as to educate European public opinion concerning the realities of the historical evolution of the Karabakh Question. Page 1 AGBU ARMENIA NEWSLETTER ISSUE 3, DECEMBER 2009 The year 2009 will be also be remembered for the events pertaining to the opening of the border and establishment of dip- lomatic relations between Armenia and Turkey, which constitute a distinct juncture in the history of our people. Our organi- zation had a characteristic position in connection with these events. These developments, which stirred and prompted ac- tion on the part of the Armenians in Armenia and the rest of the world, gave a new emphasis to AGBU’s Armenia-centered activity, which, we are convinced, will also define the subsequent course of our chapters’ activity, in terms of maintaining Armenia as the center of the diasporan Armenians’ attention and linking our activities, especially in the case of the youth, to the daily life and developments in the homeland. In this regard, it is also important for our chapters to encourage the participation of their circles in the programs organized by AGBU in Armenia for diasporan Armenian youths. We note with satisfaction that the young and energetic members and new chair people that have joined many of our district committees, chapter executive committees and educational committees are studying and planning new organizational measures in an- ticipation of future developments. We hope that the many thousands of our graduates, who have enjoyed the organiza- tion’s support, will assist in these efforts. The inclusion of new members and the productive use of local assets that make chapters’ activity self-sufficient, are important prerequisites for the success of AGBU’s general programs. To that end, we extend our warmest wishes for a Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year marked by prosperous activity and success. Respectfully, Berge Setrakian President US PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA RESPONDS TO COMMUNITY CONCERNS WITH RESPECT TO TURKEY - INCORPORATES WITH REFERENCE ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE U.S. President Barack Obama responded to a joint letter sent by major Armenian-American institutions, which outlined se- veral concerns with respect to "Turkey's failures to uphold its international obligations." The joint letter called on the Ad- ministration to "hold the Turkish government accountable" with respect to Turkey's public commitments to establish normal relations without preconditions and lift its blockade of Armenia. In addition, the letter also emphasized that "true reconcilia- tion will occur only when Turkey comes to terms with its past" and urged President Obama to affirm the Armenian Geno- cide. Moreover, the letter conveyed the concerns shared by the Diaspora across the globe that "if this normalization proc- ess is used as a smokescreen for not reaffirming the Armenian Genocide and the U.S. record, it will be a blow to the rap- prochement process and the expectations of people of goodwill everywhere." Responding to the joint letter, President Obama reiterated America's position that "normalization between Armenia and Turkey should move forward without pre- conditions and within a reasonable timeframe." This position also reflects that of the governments of Switzerland, France, Russia as well as the European Union. In addition, President Obama also incorporated by reference the fact of the Arme- nian Genocide stating that "my view of that history has not changed. My interest remains the achievement of a full, frank, and just acknowledgement of the facts." The President’s reference to his historical view was used during his trip to Turkey earlier this year as well as in his April 24, 2009 statement and includes multiple usages of the term Armenian Genocide. Also, the Swiss, French, Russian, and European parliaments have all affirmed the Armenian Genocide. The Diocese of the Armenian Church of America (East and West), Armenian General Benevolent Union, and Armenian Assembly of America welcome President Obama's strong commitment and interest in helping the people of Armenia. We also stand united in our position that U.S. reaffirmation of the Armenian Genocide should not be held hostage to normalization of relations. President Obama's upcoming meeting with Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan scheduled for December 7th in Washington, DC represents an important opportunity to hold the Turkish government accountable with respect to its inter- national obligations to lift its blockade of Armenia and normalize relations without preconditions, as well as come to terms with its genocidal past. Text of President Barack Obama's letter Thank you for your letter in support of the normalization of relations be- tween Armenia and Turkey. I believe this historic process has important benefits for the future of both countries. I agree that normalization between Armenia and Turkey should move forward without preconditions and within a reasonable timeframe. On October 10, Secretary Clinton represented the United States at the historic signing of the protocols providing a framework for normalization. We continue to support Armenia and Turkey as they move ahead to fulfill the promise of normalization.

In 2013 the Society celebrated its 85th year of dedicated service. Long-lived organizations may develop over time distinctive positive or negative characteristics. A positive example would be the accumulated experience, if, of course, a significant amount of experience is transmitted from one generation to the next. On the other hand, negative characteristics, such as misplaced self-confidence built up over time, could also be a determining factor. The 85-year-old Hamazkayin does not claim to be experienced; it does not claim to be free from neg- ative aspects.

DIASPORA ENTREPRENEURIAL NETWORKS THE MALTESE IN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY SPAIN A COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE Carmel Vassallo University of Malta Migration has been a feature of human existence since the very dawn of history. It has taken various forms and its intensity has varied over time. The transnational communities that are formed as a consequence of these migrations are often referred to as ethnic diasporas. The term ‘diaspora’, of Greek origin and meaning ‘dispersion’ or ‘scattering’, has come to refer to a very broad range of situations including: migrants in general; political, religious and other refugees and expellees; ethnic and racial minorities and aliens; and so on. The fact is that the semantic domain of the term ‘diaspora’ has been ‘stretched’ so much that it has come to include virtually all expatriate groups. Safran has suggested, not without some justification, that it is perhaps a matter of asking ‘What ethnic community that has migrated, or that consists of descendants of those who have done so, is not a diaspora?’1.
