/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Third Congress of Western Armenians is planned to
be held in Paris in summer, reported the Yerkir newspaper. The first
two meetings were held in Yerevan in 1917 and 1919. In the words of
the initiators of the congress - editor-in-chief of the Armenian
Herald and Citizen journals being published in Moscow, publicist
Karen Mikayelian the event goal is to form representation bodies -
the National Assembly and the National Council from representatives of
different generations of Western Armenians, who live in many countries
of the world. The activities of those structures should be aimed at
uniting the Diaspora potential, working out and implementation of
common Armenian programs, promotion of secure, dynamic and sustainable
development of the Armenian statehood, search for more efficient
mechanisms of securing the rights of Armenians in the world. Over
500 delegates (including 50 from Armenia) will represent several
million Armenians. In K. Mikayelian's opinion, Armenians dispersed
throughout the world should attain the solution of the Armenian issue
(Hay Dat). It is unfair to demand that the Republic of Armenia lay
territorial claims to Turkey, as it makes the relations between the
two countries tense. The future representation bodies are just those,
who should put forward these demands. Their representatives will be
deputed to hold talks with the Turkish authorities over acknowledgement
and denouncement of crimes, committed by Ottoman Empire leaders,
compensation of the damage, as well as securing an opportunity to
return to their fatherland to all those wishing to do it. «Today's
Armenia should be formed as the core of the future Armenia,» the
publicist considers.
