On Sunday, October 10th the Armenian Network State’s Department of Foreign Affairs hosted a truly multinational panel discussion with prominent Armenian and international political and public figures, acting and former diplomats, political scientists, including Greece’s first ambassador to Armenia, Leonidas Chrysanthopoulos, George Bush Senior’s speechwriter and the leader and spokesman in the Tea Party movement, Michael Johns, assistant to the current president of Armenia, Lilit Yeremyan, the former security advisor to the first president of Armenia, Vahan Avagyan, the prominent Armenian political scientist Saro Saroyan, community activist and founder of Keghart.org, Dikran Abrahamian, the prominent Canadian-Armenian scientist and community leader, Dr Arshavir Gundjian, Armenian Network State founder and international relations scholar Vahram Ayvazyan and many others. The panel discussion topics were as follows:

⁃ Afghanistan: Turk-Pakistani marriage and its implications for Armenia, India and Iran.

⁃ Supranational organizations; Church and Movements.

⁃ Armenian Network State: cooperation with other organizations and diasporas.

The panel paid a very particular attention to the issue of Diaspora’s political participation in Armenia (the Declaration of the Armenian Network State has coined the term World Armenians). The discussions on the aforementioned topics will continue and the panelists will also share their proposals in the upcoming e-meetings.

There was also made a decision to postpone the discussion on the last topic (Iran’s military exercises near Nakhijevan and Azerbaijan borders: possible skirmishes between Iran and Azerbaijan) until the upcoming e-meeting as new developments around Iran-Azerbaijan conflict are on stage. As an ending note, a number of e-meeting participants (who were at our e-meetings for the 1st time) became citizens of the Armenian Network State afterwards.
