PARIS- On April 11–12, 2026, a conference dedicated to the mobilization of the Diaspora will
take place in Paris, aiming to confront the unprecedented crises that have shaken the Armenian
world in recent years.
Since 2018, the renunciation of Armenian national interests by the authorities of the Republic of
Armenia — stepping back from the Genocide and Artsakh dossiers (the result of which was the
ethnic cleansing of Artsakh), the threats directed against Armenian identity, and the attacks
carried out against national institutions — have created an unprecedentedly critical situation for
the entire Armenian world.
The purpose of the upcoming conference is to collectively discuss the situation and mobilize the
Diaspora, in order to shape a unified and purposeful stance in defense and strengthening of the
Armenian state, the Armenian Diaspora, and Armenian national interests in general, including
the Armenian Cause.
The conference will bring together around 150 representatives from more than 25 countries,
including community leaders, heads of organizations, public and political figures, scholars,
experts, business leaders, and youth.
Key
agenda
