For the second time in one month, the newly established Young
Assyrians, a subsidiary of the Assyrian Universal Alliance-Australian
Chapter, managed to successfully officiate a major youth function. Mr.
Shahen, the Regional Secretary of the Assyrian Universal Alliance
in Australia and New Zealand, said the first youth conference was
held on July 3, 2011, marking Assyria Day. The conference addressed
a number of issues, including the problems facing Assyrian youth in
the homeland and in the Diaspora. Also discussed was the challenge of
creating a sustainable and duplicable platform for the next generation
to get involved in matters pertaining to the future of the Assyrian
Nation. Additionally, the need to develop a strategy to create
awareness of Assyrian history and culture among the young generation
were discussed, and finally a method to build durable and lasting
communication between the youth in the Diaspora and the homeland.
On August 11 Young Assyrians organized a seminar on the Assyrian
genocide. The keynote speaker was Dr Anahit Khosroeva, an Assyrian born
in Armenia. Dr Khosroeva is a member of the prestigious International
Association of Genocide Scholars and was cordially invited by the AUA
to speak at genocide conferences in Sydney and Melbourne. Mr. Shahen
said that audiences were inspired by the great presentation made
by Dr. Anahit at the Parliament House of New South Wales on Friday,
August 5, as well ad her address at the local genocide seminar held
in Fairfield, organized by The Young Assyrians.
"She touched the hearts and minds of all attendees with her eloquent
and impassioned presentation," said Mr Shahen. Dr Khosroeva presented
expansive evidence showing the act of genocide perpetrated against the
Assyrian nation by the Young Turks was committed with the intention
of exterminating and expunging the Christian nations living in the
Ottoman Empire, the Assyrians, Armenians and the Greeks.
The seminar organized by The Young Assyrians on the August 11 was
attended by a large number of Assyrian youth, who expressed a desire
to participate in future events and a willingness in working for the
Assyrian cause.
