EUROPEAN ARMENIAN FEDERATION STARTS FIRST CONVENTION
BRUSSELS, OCTOBER 18, ARMENPRESS: The two-day Convention of
European Armenians was started today at the European Parliament,
Brussels. Organized by the European Armenian Federation, this
pan-European meeting is designed as a forum for sharing ideas and
concerns on topics of importance to the Armenian communities across
Europe
European citizens of Armenian descent now number more than two
million, stemming from three large waves of immigration that resulted
from the Genocide perpetrated by Ottoman Turkey (1915), war in the
middle-east (1975) and the fall of the USSR (1991). Though well
integrated in the economic, social and cultural life of their new
countries, they have kept their identity and their interest in
Armenian issues.
This convention will allow participants to come together on
various topical themes linked to recent geopolitical events or global
socio-economic developments. Convention speakers will express
themselves within the framework of three sessions: - Armenian culture
and identity in Europe - Relations between the European Union and
Armenia - The Stakes involved in European Union Enlargement. "
