Follow-Up Online Meeting of the Diaspora Mobilization Conference Held
At the initiative of the Coordinating Committee of the Diaspora Mobilization Conference, a follow-up online meeting was held on July 18, for participants of the inaugural conference that convened in Paris in April.
The meeting brought together conference participants from Armenia, Artsakh, and 25 countries across the Armenian Diaspora.
The meeting took place at a time when the Armenian people continue to confront the consequences of the forced depopulation of Artsakh, as well as serious challenges related to the protection of the collective rights of the people of Artsakh, the international pursuit of the Armenian Cause (Hai Tahd), the preservation of national and spiritual values, and the strengthening of the Diaspora’s united role. At the same time, the continuing democratic backsliding in Armenia has made the need for pan-Armenian unity and renewed national engagement even more evident.
The meeting provided an opportunity to review the outcomes of the Paris Conference, present the work carried out over the past three months, and discuss future steps. The Coordinating Committee reported on the activities undertaken since the conference, including working meetings among participants of the four roundtables, the preparation of reports and summary papers, as well as efforts to disseminate the conference’s outcomes through the press, social media, and community networks.
During the session, participants viewed a documentary video summarizing the conference, which once again underscored its significance and highlighted the positive momentum and new prospects that have emerged from it. The final summary reports of the conference’s roundtables were also presented. These addressed the strategic role of the Armenian Diaspora, the preservation of national identity and values, the development of Armenia–Diaspora relations, and the strengthening of Diasporan mobilization around shared national objectives.
Special attention was given to the conference’s dedicated website, where the complete conference archive will be made available, including reports, video recordings, photographs, the conference declaration, articles, interviews, and other materials. The website will ensure the long-term preservation of the conference’s work and make it broadly accessible to the public.
The concluding discussion focused on future directions. Participants reaffirmed that the principles and priorities articulated at the Paris Conference remain central components of the pan-Armenian agenda. They emphasized the importance of sustained, organized, and united action in advancing the national interests of Armenia, Artsakh, and Armenians throughout the world.
The online meeting once again confirmed that the Paris Conference was not a one-time event, but rather the beginning of an ongoing process of uniting the forces of the Armenian Diaspora, with the objective of mobilizing its collective potential in service of strategic pan-Armenian goals.
