In October Armenia will host the prestigious international Summit of Minds, the third time in a row.

The Summit of Minds held every year in the French city of Chamonix has been hosted in Armenia since 2019. An exceptional agreement on the organization of the event was reached in September 2018, when the President of the Republic of Armenia Armen Sarkissian participated in the event as keynote speaker.

In 2021 the Armenian Summit of Minds will be held at the Central Bank Training and Research Center in Dilijan, co-organizers of the summit – President Armen Sarkissian, President of the Central Bank of Armenia Martin Galstyan and the founder of The Monthly Barometer Thierry Malleret – announced during an online meeting with the summit participants.

“Unfortunately, in 2020 we had a double trouble in Armenia. First there was the Covid, and then we had a war. In the case of 2021 Summit of Minds in Armenia, one of the interesting things would be – whether we like it or not – to discuss and analyze what happened in the South Caucasus last year and the future of this region,” President Sarkissian said. 

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
