A conversation about the influence of media, the shaping of identity, and the re-evaluation of our victories. Political topics that have become part of the public agenda.

Armenians consider family to be one of the greatest values. However, is the Armenian family model meaningful and secure today, when the institution of the family in the world is undergoing dangerous upheavals? Why is the number of divorces increasing and the birth rate decreasing in Armenia? The need for national attention and immediate action is obvious.

Cultural immunity—its formation lies at the core of our national security.
We spoke with Armen Amiryan—TV host, director, member of the Public Television and Radio Council of Armenia (2015–2016), and minister of culture of Armenia (2016–2018)—about the creative process during difficult times and about ideological matters.

The role and service of the Church in the life of Armenians. What do we expect from the Church, and what does the Church expect from us?  Religion as a spiritual system and moral basis of culture. Where do the moral commandments come from? How to avoid egoistic perceptions of the spiritual?

”Media in a transition period”: this is exactly how host and journalist Artak Vardanyan described everything that is happening on the Internet today. Experts are still discussing what will be the end of this stage. We have tried to reflect on the dangers of the media and the opportunities it provides.

In the midst of the ideological confusion and geopolitical upheavals of the modern world, the task of seeing, finding, and preserving ourselves becomes an existential imperative. What is the essence, domain, and potential of our identity, and how viable is it in the face of contemporary challenges and changes? In a world full of dangers and challenges, are we passive observers or active participants? Are we ready to change? What should we change, and how?
