The second day of the Forum started on Sunday July 20th.
After the breakfast, the Forum participants attended a lecture entitled “Armenian Cause, 100 anniversary and retribution”, delivered by Giro Manayon, director of Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) Bureau’s Armenian National Committee and Political Affairs office.
Minoyan talked about current activities of the Hay Tahd Committee. He also talked about retribution, the issues of Nagorno Karapagh, and Armenia-Turkey Relations and the standing protocols. Minoyan also shed some light on the 100th anniversary of the Armenian genocide and what is expected from the Diaspora.
Participants were given the opportunity to ask questions to the lecturer. Minoyan said that it is time for Armenians across the globe to move from the phase of recognition to the phase of retribution and raise awareness both politically and academically.
After lunch, Hamazkayin Forum participants visited Charent’s Arch, Karni temple, and Keghart monastery. On their way back to Yerevan, the Forum participants attended Armenia State Dance Ensemble’s performance at Aram Khatchaturian Concert Hall.
After the dinner, Forum participants enjoyed Yerevan’s night life and spent a wonderful evening with their peers.
