Caucasus Institute recently launched a new project titled “Harnessing Youth Engagement to Shape Armenia’s Democratic Future through an Analysis of Lessons Learned from Post-Revolutionary and Post-War Armenia,” supported by CFLI.
Media Discussions
In collaboration with Lratvakan Radio, a series of media discussions were held featuring experts such as Hrant Mikaelyan, Aram Abrahamyan, Mark Grigoryan, Ruben Safrastyan, Leonid Nersisyan, Sergey Minasyan, and Alexander Iskandaryan. These experts shared their insights on societal transformations, domestic and foreign policy issues, and prospects for peace and security in post-revolutionary and post-war Armenia.
Discussions in the regions
From October to December, the Goris Press Club NGO organized a series of closed, informal discussions in the Syunik Province cities of Goris, Kajaran, and Sisian. These sessions featured speakers such as political scientists Alexander Iskandaryan and Hrant Mikaelyan, editor and radio host Liana Khachatryan, and writer and journalist Mark Grigoryan. The discussions provided a platform for young individuals and professionals from diverse fields to engage with experts on the lessons learned from Armenia’s post-revolutionary and post-war periods. Topics included insights into security, economic development, and freedom, as well as strategies for leveraging these lessons to build a democratic future for Armenia. Participants also had the opportunity to share their perspectives and visions with the experts, fostering a collaborative dialogue.
Expert Discussions
As part of this initiative, the first expert discussion was held on September 19 at Caucasus Institute. During the session, experts shared their insights on the post-revolutionary and post-war conditions in Armenia, reflecting on key lessons learned from these experiences. They also presented their visions for Armenia’s future, contributing to a broader dialogue on the country’s democratic development.
