💬 “Good afternoon,
Dear Mr. Minister,
I welcome you and your delegation to the Republic of Armenia, Yerevan. As a continuation of our meeting and agreements reached in Poland last year, this is the first visit of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Hungary to the Republic of Armenia after the long break and restoration of diplomatic relations. I believe that mutual visits really contribute to the development of relations and I want to mention the visit of the Deputy Prime Minister of Hungary to the Republic of Armenia, the visit of our Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructures to Hungary, and now your visit to Armenia. I should note that work is underway to organize new mutual visits.
(…)
I consider the formation of friendly groups in the parliaments of both countries and their further relations and partnership to be important. I believe that all this and the inter-parliamentary cooperation will become the basis for both further improvement of bilateral relations and cooperation on different multilateral platforms.
Of course, I would like to emphasise that we highly appreciate the existence of the Armenian community officially recognized as a national minority in Hungary and the caring attitude towards it by Hungary’s authorities. One of the evident testimonies of this is the reopening of St. Gregory the Illuminator Armenian Catholic Church in Budapest.
(…)
Your visit takes place in a situation where we can talk about the available opportunities, as I mentioned, but we must also be able to adequately assess the general regional developments, which in turn have a significant impact on the security situation and stability of the region.
I am sure that Hungary, also as an EU member state, is well aware of all developments. I would like to emphasise that for a lasting and dignified peace in the South Caucasus for our people it is vital to ensure the exclusion of the use of force and xenophobic policy, because we have already witnessed its manifestations, which we have repeatedly warned about. Only a month ago, the policy of ethnic cleansing in Nagorno-Karabakh was completed, and more than 100,000 Armenians were forced to flee to save their lives and were forcibly displaced from Nagorno-Karabakh, left their historic homeland, and now seek safe shelter as refugees in the Republic of Armenia.
(…)
Addressing the rights of the people of Nagorno-Karabakh and also working towards the protection of the rich Armenian heritage left in Nagorno-Karabakh is, of course, important for creating an atmosphere of mutual trust. …”

On August 23, 2024, the Armenian Cultural Center of Hungary hosted the opening of the summary exhibition. The exhibition was dedicated to the “Parajanov 100” collage project created during the “Armenian Youth Camp 2024” in Hungary and to the works produced during the sculpture courses that lasted for more than five months at the cultural center.

During the camp, a master class on collage-making was held, where participants worked in groups. The workshop presented the activities of the renowned Armenian filmmaker, screenwriter, and artist Sergey Parajanov, as well as his collages. This year marks the 100th anniversary of his birth.

The exhibition also had an interactive component, during which another collage was created and added alongside the presented works.

The pottery class was conducted by Grigor Murdian. The camp programs were led by Grigor Murdian and Suzanna Hakobyan. The projects were carried out at the Armenian Cultural Foundation of Hungary as part of the ESC volunteer program activities.

The Armenian Youth Camp is initially designed to encourage Armenian and Armenian-origin children and teenagers living in Hungary to meet and get to know each other. The camp’s goals include not only establishing connections among Armenians but also connecting them with their Armenian heritage.

Alex Avanesyan briefly touched on Armenian history, presenting the formation process of Armenian kingdoms, the importance of the adoption of Christianity, and other significant historical events. His speech sparked interest in the Armenian past among the camp participants.

The quiz organized by the “Urartu” theater of the Armenian Cultural Foundation of Hungary further connected the children with Armenian culture. Participants had to name or guess the names, origins, and histories of various items related to Armenian culture created in different periods shown in pictures. The project turned into an educational and entertaining game.

The workshop dedicated to the 100th anniversary of Sergey Parajanov’s birth, conducted by the volunteers of the “Armenian Cultural Foundation of Hungary,” Suzanna Hakobyan and Grigor Moradyan, sparked great interest. The workshop focused on collage art, presenting Parajanov’s works and the uniqueness of his art. It became a unique opportunity for the children to engage in creative exploration and to get acquainted with Parajanov’s worldview.
