Armenia and the Diaspora: It’s all about people and relationships

January 21, 2021 at 12:13 pm Stepan Piligian 1

Last week we discussed the imperative of integrating the diaspora and Armenia in the context of leadership. From a practical perspective, the talent pool for the critical challenges is much larger and deeper…if we have […]

Leadership crisis? Look to the global Armenian nation.

January 13, 2021 at 10:59 pm Stepan Piligian 11

The first 30 years of the Republic of Armenia demonstrated the struggle to produce credible leadership that can address the economic, social and national security needs of the nation. As Armenians, we tend to react […]

What will it take for capable leadership?

January 6, 2021 at 5:17 pm Stepan Piligian 13

We are raised in the diaspora with this romantic perception that everything Armenian is good. In most cases that’s true. We have a deep faith, a beautiful language and a respected culture. Our “clannish” behavior […]

The line between activism and anger has become blurred.

December 30, 2020 at 5:42 pm Stepan Piligian 5

Pragmatic Patriotism for Armenia’s Future

December 3, 2020 at 4:35 pm Stepan Piligian 5

Times like these call for honest self-assessment. Our best traits that have enabled our survival as a people are also the ones that put us at risk. We are fiercely independent and clannish. In the […]

Our future requires significant change

November 24, 2020 at 2:19 pm Stepan Piligian 9

The last few weeks have consumed every emotion in our human portfolio. In a tragic sense, we are feeling a new bond with our ancestors who experienced the horrors of atrocities, dispossession and the frustration […]

Together we can dry our painful tears and lift our heavy hearts

November 19, 2020 at 10:15 am Stepan Piligian 4

Once again we find ourselves at a fork in the road. This is where we either remain whole and move forward or we splinter into pieces sacrificing our future. When something as traumatic as the […]

The chapter on isolation and betrayal has been written, but the book is not finished

November 12, 2020 at 11:48 am Stepan Piligian 17
