The meeting agenda was quite full, elections of the President and the Chief Executives of Young Republicans were held, along with a number of debates, seminars and conferences. Reference was made to the world's current and the most important political, socio-economic questions. The members of the meeting were delegates from the States, congressmen and politicians, international delegates from more than 15 countries, and the total number of delegates and participants exceeded 600. Armen Arzumanyan welcomed participants in his speech, highlighted the importance of international delegates' participation in such events that create a unique platform of political cooperation between countries.

In his speech, Armen Arzumanyan, among other issues, expressed hope that next US president will recognize the historical reality and will fulfill steps towards the US recognition of the Armenian Genocide.
