    HIS HOLINESS ARAM I NOMINATES THE COUNCIL FOR THE PRESERVATION OF WESTERN
    ARMENIAN LANGUAGE

    After consultation with educational and cultural organizations and Western
    Armenian linguists, His Holiness Aram I nominated a diaspora-wide 25-member
    Council to work towards the preservation and protection of Western Armenian
    language.

    The creation of the Council had been recommended at a conference Catholicos
    Aram I organized in 2011 in Bikfaya, Lebanon to study how the Armenian
    Genocide and its consequent diaspora had affected the usage of the language.

    Yesterday, the nominees to the Council living in Lebanon met with His
    Holiness Aram I. They received the list of members and a draft document,
    stating the goals and programmatic guidelines, which is being sent to all
    members asking for their input; the goals and guidelines will be shared with
    the public after all comments are incorporated.
