Time is often ally with us. Thus, the current Regional Executive Board of Hamazkayin, a year after the Representatives’ Assembly of Hamazkayin, decided to create a good opportunity to consolidate the unit-structures operating in Attica introducing them to each other and giving them a chance to recognize each other.

The new generation’s mission is to create its nation's history, and our young people create the history of their communities. Our societies give that right to them by teaching them that the collective interest should be above the personal interest.
The duty to conduct the artistic part of the event following the dinner was entrusted to Comrade Lilith Mouradian. She invited Diocese Archbishop Khoren Toghramachian to speak. In his speech, he emphasized the significant role of culture, especially in the life of the Armenian Diaspora communities, and the new generation’s mission in preserving the Armenian culture and Armenian values.
