YEREVAN (A.W)—The 32nd World Congress of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) kicked off on Jan. 16. ARF delegates, leaders, and observers hailed from around the world for the week-long meeting, which is the party’s highest decision-making assembly.
The meeting agenda will include Armenia’s domestic state of affairs, foreign policy, and matters of national importance. The Congress will also elect its leadership for the next four years, and will discuss priorities for the future. The meeting outcome will be made public once the World Congress concludes.
Before the meeting convened, delegates visited Yerevan’s Pantheon to pay their respects and lay carnations at the gravesite of the late ARF leader Vahan Hovannesian, as well as the gravesites of Aram Manougian, and Hrayr Maroukhian.
Hovannesian was laid to rest at the Pantheon on Jan. 3 in the presence of the Bureau and members of the ARF, as well as heads of the Armenian government.
Great expectations!!!
Hope that the formulated vision and plan of action will revitalize and reenergize the ARF.
Best wishes to the delegates. A very crucial Congress on the eve of the Centennial.
