The imperative of international recognition of the Republic of Artsakh. Levon Gevorgyan


With the blessing of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, a forum was organized under the title "The imperative of international recognition of the Republic of Artsakh".  Levon Gevorgyan, a specialist in international law, begins the topic of the right to self-determination by presenting three fundamental ideas: titular ownership of Artsakh, the principle of territorial integrity, and the concept of "continuity of Soviet borders". This is where the conflict between international law and political-propaganda theses often begins. 

State and dignity


Did you imagine that there will come a day when Artsakh will be under indefinite siege for more than 2 months, and nothing will happen on the streets of Yerevan? We talk about post-war national identity with ethnographer Mkhitar Gabrielyan. Anna Sargsyan conducts the conversation.

The blockade as threat of genocide


On January 30, the International Association of Genocide Scholars adopted a new statement condemning the blockade of Artsakh. In October 2022, the organization also adopted a statement condemning the Azerbaijani attack on the territory of the Republic of Armenia. We discuss the threat of genocide and the long-term blockade of Artsakh with Genocide expert Suren Manukyan. Anna Sargsyan conducts the conversation. 

War Hanging in the air


There is growing anticipation that the region is being drawn into a major conflict. What is the perception of it in Armenia? What role does the besieged Artsakh play in the complex military-political rearrangements? We discuss it with military analyst Robert Nazaryan. Anna Sargsyan conducts the conversation.

What is the challenge facing us?


Artsakh is surrounded, the territorial integrity of RA is violated. A direct threat is being sounded in the direction of Yerevan. Why is the reaction of Armenians inadequate, are we not the same people of 88? We discuss with political scientist, economist Hrant Mikayelyan. Anna Sargsyan conducts the conversation.

The Artsakh issue and the blocked Lachin corridor


Lachin Corridor has been blocked by Azerbaijanis for more than a month. The humanitarian crisis has caused a political upheaval, it is clear that the blockade of Artsakh is a measure. However, the real goals, including those of the superpowers, are not clear. How many resources does the Armenian people have to resist? Karen Igityan, an expert on the Artsakh issue, was hosted at the "Third Millennium" pavilion. Anna Sargsyan conducts the conversation.

2022 at the "Third Millennium" Pavilion


More than 30 experts, specialists and analysts were hosted in our pavillion in 2022 to talk about the problems of post-war Armenia and Artsakh and their solutions. We summarized the conversations in one video.

Economy after 2020

Non-formal education in regions. One episode, and many questions


"Hovhannisyan" Institute implemented the "What the Photo Tells" educational program for young people in Vayots Dzor region. Teens choose photos from old family albums and do their own research on them. Cultural anthropologist, program trainer Gayane Shagoyan and head of regional programs of "Hovhannisyan" Institute Hermine Stepanyan tell what has been revealed about intergenerational ties, the consequences of social changes and the attitude of young people. Anna Sargsyan conducts the conversation.

Earthquake, war, collapse- the opposite side of resistance


In the last 34 years, we have survived a devastating earthquake and at least 3 wars. What do we know about coping with natural and man-made disasters? Is resilience a national trait or a state program? We are having a discussion with Nikolay Grigoryan, an expert in crisis management, major general of the rescue service. Anna Sargsyan conducts the conversation.

1991-1994 Medical workers in the Artsakh war

Book author, journalist Ruzanna Bagratunyan and surgeon, war participant Gevorg Grigoryan are hosted in our pavillion. Anna Sargsyan conducts the conversation.

Capitulation or salvation?


The hostilities started in Artsakh on November 9, 2020 stopped. The signed document became known as capitulation. Political comments were also made that it is not just a capitulation, but a rescue from a worse outcome. The Armenian public does not know exactly why the war started, why it ended on November 9, and whether it ended. Is the November 9 declaration document legally binding?  We are talking with Candidate of Legal Sciences Vahe Torosyan. Anna Sargsyan conducts the conversation.
