11. Mission Statement Disclaimer
Not to be confused with a sovereign nation state, a nation can't be
confined by geographic boundaries. The mission of AzoresNation.com is to
unite a global diaspora with a shared cultural and genetic history under a
common passion and mission. AzoresNation.com does not advocate
Azorean Independance from Portugal nor are any claims made by the
site's creator in support of a sovereign Azorean Nation State. The use of
this name is for branding purposes only.
On the contrary, we do advocate that all people with family ties within five
generations to the Azores exercise their right to claim Official Portuguese
Citizenship at the nearest Portuguese Consulate Office.
