The AYF delegation during its presentation
Upon the invitation of the Socialist Youth Austria (Sozialistische
Jugend Osterreich, SJO), a delegation of theArmenian Youth Federation
(AYF) comprised of Garabed Chadoian (Austria) and Serj Ter Hakobyan
(Germany) took part in the SJO annual Congress which was convened in
Felden, from October 31 to November 3.
Almost 250 representatives from Austria, Sweden, the Netherlands,
the Czech Republic, Serbia and other states attended the Congress.
After the opening remarks of the Congress that were delivered by the
host organization representatives of the guest organizations took
the floor and presented themselves and their approaches.
The AYF delegates introduced the organization to the attendees and
spoke about the objectives and activities of AYF; they emphasized on
the necessity of the Armenian Genocide's international recognition
from the human rights scope.
Referring to Artsakh people's self-determination and their right to
live freely and independently on their own territory, the AYF members
explained the circumstances the Artsakh youth is living in and pointed
out that all the youth of Artsakh wants is to have a peaceful and
safe life, like the rest of the youth in Europe. However this is not
happening because Armenia and Artsakh have been blockaded and are
constantly under the threat of a renewal of the war.
The AYF members concluded saying "It is our generation's obligation to
fight, so as a fairer society is established in the world, according
to the socialist ideas".
Presentations and discussions were held about socialism, economy,
the internet, migration, education, extreme right-wing movements and
other issues.
Bilateral meetings between the AYF and representatives of other
delegations also took place. Some of the participants expressed
their willingness to visit Armenia and Artsakh. They suggested to the
Armenian side to be the organizer of an international youth conference
in Armenia.
