Our campaign seeks to raise awareness among German politicians and society about the enduring legacy of the Armenian Genocide and its relevance to the contemporary struggles of the people of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh.

IMPACT

Through our Armenian Genocide events, we aim to foster greater understanding and empathy, leading to increased support for the Armenian community in their ongoing struggles. By shedding light on historical injustices and their present-day ramifications, we strive to catalyze positive change and promote justice for all affected.

PROBLEM

The Armenian Genocide and ongoing threats to Armenia's existence, exacerbated by recent events in Nagorno-Karabakh, persist as pressing issues requiring immediate attention. Despite efforts to confront past atrocities, there remains a pervasive tendency towards collective forgetting, hindering progress towards justice.

SOLUTION

Our event organization is committed to addressing this gap in historical consciouness, both in Germany and across Europe. By focusing on the commemoration of the Armenian Genocide, in the context of culture of memory, we aim to foster a culture of remembrance, empathy, and accountability.

The participation of internationally recognised prominent figures, is crucial in this endeavor. By engaging respected scholars, activists, and political leaders, we can amplify the message of remembrance and justice within German society and beyond. Their involvement not only lends credibility to our cause but also serves to challenge prevailing narratives and confront historical denial.

By raising awareness, fostering dialogue, and advocating for policy change, we seek to confront denial, combat indifference, and demand accountability for past and present injustices.

Ultimately, our goal is to ensure that the memory of the Armenian Genocide is not relegated to the margins of history but occupies its rightful place alongside other tragedies in the collective consciousness of Europe.
