On September 21, 2025, we launched the Azg Araj movement. We did not choose long speeches or empty promises. We chose action standing among our youth. With our youth, we danced our national dances. With our youth, we climbed one of the highest peaks of our homeland. With our youth, we showed the strength of the Armenian spirit.
Dancing for Identity
In the Republic of Armenia, we joined an event organized by Ari Pari in Yerevan. Together we danced Karno Kochari, Yarkushta, and Msho Khr with our brothers and sisters. Every step was a declaration. Every rhythm was proof that Armenia’s identity is alive, powerful, and forward-looking.
Our vision is clear. On September 21, 2026, 100,000 Armenians will dance in Republic Square, across Armenia, and in the Diaspora. Led by our youth, with the support of a new national government, this dance will be more than tradition. It will be a symbol of unity and rebirth. A nation choosing joy over silence, courage over fear, identity over loss.
Climbing for the Homeland
On the same day, our steps also took us to Western Armenia, to Ararat and the summit of Mount Sis, at 3,925 meters high.
Ararat is the eternal symbol of the Armenian Nation. It does not vanish because borders changed a century ago. It does not fade because the first Republic of Armenia could not keep it. It does not disappear because USSR ceded Western Armenia to the Republic of Turkey in 1921 with the Treaty of Kars. Ararat is eternal and so is our identity.
Nation Forward, Always Upward
The path of the Armenian Nation is always forward, always upward. No matter the borders, no matter the obstacles. The future belongs to our youth. This is the power that will bring the Nation Forward.
Dance with us. Rise with us. Stand with us.
We are Azg Araj.
