When speaking about Western Armenia, it is not merely a matter of a historical homeland; it is a question of national identity, memory, and responsibility. Today, many Armenians, including the majority of citizens of the Republic of Eastern Armenia, are Western Armenians by origin, yet this awareness often remains in the background.
In his speech, Vazgen Sislyan emphasized the need to reconsider the significance of Western Armenia and make it an important component of the pan-Armenian agenda. Every Armenian, he noted, should recognize their connection to the historical homeland and their role in achieving national goals.
Vazgen Sislyan called for unity around national ideals, for combining efforts, and for returning to our roots in order to strengthen pan-Armenian solidarity and responsibility.
