2015: Where have we come? Where are we going?

By Lucine Kasbarian

This article is an edited version of a presentation given by Kasbarian before New Jersey Armenian-Americans in March 2015.

I don't think it's necessary to tell you "Were we have come." Suffice to say that the "Diaspora Experiment" – to resurrect Armenia in exile following the Genocide –  was not just a success, it was a miracle.

Our parents and grandparents believed that through sincerity, truthfulness and activism, we could educate the world to achieve our dreams of a just resolution to the Armenian Cause. Our survivor elders were genuinely grateful to the First World and other nations who took them in – the United States perhaps being chief among them. But how much did our grandparents really know about America's and some other countries' complicity in abandoning the Armenians, even 100 years ago?
