Today, I want to give back to my two countries some of what they gave me. My family heritage speaks. My father, Arlen Papazian, was a committed activist for the Armenian cause; died too early, his personality nevertheless marked the Armenian community in France. Our whole family grew up in the values ​​of armenity and political commitment. This commitment is trans-generational. My eldest daughter, Taline, devoted her doctorate in political science to studying the modern Armenian state and the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Over the course of her work, she has become a personality recognized in academic circles for her expertise on security issues in the South Caucasus. My two sons have chosen to leave, for one the United States and for the other France, in 2019, and to relocate their start-up –Brushette- in Armenia. They find there a dynamic environment, young graduates, competent and motivated, in short, promising assets for the future of this country in the field of high technologies. Armenia Peace Initiative therefore fits into both a family and binational history. Peace and security remain a secular issue for Armenia: landlocked, under blockade, and at war if it is not open, at the very least hidden. France, as an essential partner of the Minsk group, has been engaged for years to bring the peace process in the South Caucasus region to a successful conclusion. But the conditions of security and peace are also political – with the promotion of democracy -, cultural with the development of arts and culture, economic to allow the population to stay in the country, and educational to provide ‘all young people have an educational level in accordance with international standards. ”
