GLENDALE - A new world order is in the making and history dictates
that those nations, who do not rise to the challenge, will be sidelined
from the world stage.
The spread of Christianity in the 4th century led to the establishment
of a new world order. The Armenian nation rose to the challenge,
thanks to Gregory the Illuminator and specially Mesrob Mashtots. The
invention of the Armenian alphabet reshaped our national identity
and contributed to the creation of our Golden Age.
The invention of printing and the Renaissance in the 15th century
and onward reshaped the world once again. The Armenian nation was
able to keep pace, thanks to Mekhitar of Sebastia. His movement
became the catalyst for the reawakening and rediscovering of the
Armenian Identity.
For the past several decades, the internet has been revolutionizing
our lives and changing the world. Globalization is threatening the
sovereignty of small nations. Can the Armenian nation rise to the
challenge once again? What role will our past play in shaping our
future?
To explore the above mentioned issues, an academic conference will be
held at the Fletcher Jones Auditorium of Woodbury University, 7500 N.
Glenoaks Blvd. Burbank , CA 91504 on Saturday, October 26, 2013 from
9 am to 5 pm.
The conference is jointly organized by the Armenian General Benevolent
Union, Ararat Eskijian Museum, Hamazkayin Armenian Educational and
Cultural Society, Nor Serount Cultural Association and the Organization
of Istanbul Armenians.
