”Become a fist… and you will make Armenia eternal.”
Listen carefully to his brilliant and wise speech where he hit all the points on its head.This criminal regime/coalition should take serious lessons of what was said by Aram I. Armenia is being emptied the Diaspora is being worn out.You need to seriously analyse the disease in order to prescribe the right medication.We all know what the disease is called this criminal regime under serjuk. They need to be replaced with fresh,clean,and wise people in order to gain the trust of the nation again or else it will continue with even more people quitting Armenia on a weekly basis.There is not an ounce of trust in this criminal coalition soon to be joined by another oligarchic party.
For any conference to be successful and generate tangible results you need to have the fundamental conditions on the ground right in the country along with the right format, sadly this conference hasn’t got any of it. Its the serjuk and hranush managed show two dismally failed ‘politicians’.
When the Armenian regime puts its own corrupt house in order through genuine democracy by having genuine elections and not through bribing and rigging,when the huge outflow of immigration on average 45000 per year people quitting Armenia is stopped, when the broken justice system in the country starts administering correct judgements and not judgements ordered from the top and their oligarchs,when cronyism is eliminated along with rampant corruption in all ministries,when murders in the army is stopped and not put down to the usual suicide in order to cover it,when the regime tries to bring back to the country over $10 billion of its stolen money from offshore accounts,when monopolies on industry by regime oligarchs is stopped only than Armenia will have a promising bright future. The Diaspora is now fully aware of all the misdeeds that this corrupt regime has carried out over the years and that is the reason why Armenia has been brought onto its knees by this corrupt and criminal regime. Diaspora will only invest by seeing that things are moving along the right track and not through spin until than nothing can ever be solved as this conference is just a PR exercise by the regime to its coalition partner ARF and its Diaspora supporters nothing more. There can not be any meaningful or tangible mileage in this conference coupled with the fact that this new advisory committee has no teeth whatsoever.
Finally, the 1400 or so delegates do not represent the Diaspora they only represent themselves as the vast majority of the Diaspora will look upon this farce with contempt as we had so many similar shows put by this corrupt regime, also there is no intellectual base whatsoever.The only good thing coming out of this conference is that it will boost the statistical figures of state tourism and will help the local economy through the purchase power of the delegates in Yerevan. Don’t ever be fooled and fall for their bait and be the tools in their corrupt and criminal hands as they have forfeited all the trust of the nation.

Baron Mihran, hoyagab verloudsoum! Yet for whom the bell tolls…..
He is a false prophet/profit and his religion of money is a superstition. Last time I checked, the Armenian Diaspora could not vote in so-called Armenian elections.
It appears that Catholicos Aram I’s speech has been getting more attention than the rest. As far as I am concerned there was nothing substantive in his speech. Don’t we all know that Armenians are immegrating from Armenia? Don’t we all know that the post-centennial Diaspora is facing grave challenges? Don’t we all know about corruption in Armenia? Have we not heard about the cast of oligarchs in Armenia, the infamous forty or so families in Armenia that control all the levels of economy there? Don’t we all know that Armenia for Armenians is more than say Hawaii or elsewhere we vacation at times? There is no need to repeat the same. There is no tneed in such an assembly of dignitaries and leaders to be reminded over again what Charents noted in his poem that the salvation of the Armenians is in their unity. We have been quoting it for decades now and schoolchildren have been and continue to recite the same.
what is expected or was expected from this conference is what the leadership of Armenia and Diaspora will be doing to counter immigration, occupation, disunity etc etc., etc. No tangible proposals, let alone actions, were heard thus far.
Is anybody listening or paying attention?

Catholic Aram – thank you for your kind words as I truly believe in our own strength, unity, and faith. However, you will not find most of this in Armenia – as the country is plagued with corruption. Most of the population survive because of the money sent by their relatives in the USA. Rather than lecturing us on unity do something and speak up about the corruption unless you are part of that group too.
A speech to be given by a State official, not a Church official.
At the end of his speech Catholicos Aram quoted poet Hovhannes Shiraz:”Armenians, enough of remaining separated, like fingers; become a fist and you will make Armenia eternal.” How about our separated Apostolic churches? Is he willing to make a start there by uniting our brethren in Christ? What is wrong with an idea of one people one church? It is easy to talk unity but one must set an example from his own house. I’ll probably get a lot of verbal fist shaking because of my words but so be it!!
Unity. There is no other choice. And let diaspora youth serve in the Armenian/Artsakh military.
The Catholicos’ remarks are very inspirational and we do need the unity of the nation and the Diaspora. Somehow, economic growth has to be accelerated so that people can have the vital necessities of life and the energy to prevail.
The problem is, these sort of commands for “national unity” often in reality just mean “do what I want, don’t dare question my authority or actions”. For example, while Catholicos Aram enjoys a good reputation, could this article be taken seriously if it were the words of Catholicos Karekin. Establishing a real national unity requires compromises – accommodations with, tolerance of, and inclusion of those who don’t hold exactly your own views. Without that, calls for “unity” actually only promote disunity, alienation, opposition, and a cynicism for all such calls.
One, honestly I do not believe of their words.Two there is a big conspirency theory upon Armenian people and the elite civilians and the clergy are part of it directly or undirectly.
I believe simple the Armenian. soldier
As one writer mentioned, “Don’t we know that these problems exist?” What the Catholicos has provided is not the solution but a “wish list”. No one has come up with methods to achieve this. Since every group has stubbornly dug in and will not compromise, we will hear the same speech many times over until the end of our nation arrives.
Is his holiness, under the guise of anti-materialism, staking out the moral high ground, perhaps in preparation for extorting (Haykaz Khaharyan’s word) more Diaspora money to build more churches / palaces? Were he and his entourage, as usual, driven to the meeting in Range Rovers and BMW SUVs? Meanwhile, the U.S. mission in Armenia is hard at work sending some of Armenia’s most ambitious and promising high school youth to U.S. schools allegedly to become future “leaders.” In reality, they are not only creating future migrants, but when these newly consumerism-indoctrinated “leaders” return, they come back to dreadfully few opportunities. Their only choice is to leave, which reinforces the cycle of migration. These young people are not the men and women who must go to Russia to drive taxis or work as laborers; these youth are the last promise of Armenia.
The Oligharchy in Armenia has finish draining the poor people of Armenia ,now they are trying to use the ARF to drain the diaspora. Do not believe one word of what they are saying , its a trick to start stealing from the Armenians of the diaspora.
