YEREVAN (YERKIR) - Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF)
representatives participated in the Socialist International Women's
Organization Bureau session, held in Tel Aviv May 19-20, and SI
Council's meeting, held in Ramallah, ARF Bureau's press service
reported.
Represented the ARF in the forum titled "The role of women in conflict
resolution and peace building," Georgette Avagian of Jerusalem made a
report on the role of the Armenian women following the Armenian
Genocide, as well as their role in today's Armenia, Artsakh and
Diaspora.
ARF Bureau member Mario Nalbandian headed the ARF delegation at the
Ramallah forum "For a Middle East in peace, with political and
economic democracy: the social democratic vision." In his remarks,
Nalbandian pointed to Turkey's continuous hostile approach to Armenia
in the context of the Armenian Genocide's 90th anniversary, and the
need for a bigger role of the Socialist International in the region.
The forum adopted a number of resolutions on the Middle East as well
as on the world economic situation, economic system, trade and social
rights.
On the sidelines of the forums, ARF members held meetings with
representatives of various parties attending the conventions. ARF is
the only political party from the Commonwealth of Independent States
to be a full-fledged member of the 166-member Socialist International
and the only party from the South Caucasus countries to participate in
these forums.
