Or is there a specific moment you can point out and say:"That's when it all changed"? Let me share an experience of mine, that will, hopefully, make you understand my passion for EYP and this forum in particular, a little better. 2 years ago EYP was about to hold the IEFA 2014 International Forum. I clearly remember applying to it with no expectations of passing. Nor did I have any idea about what EYP was, how it operated and so on and so forth. I did get selected, that much is clear. I found out about it a day before the actual forum. I remember having so many things to do that day. I was too busy, had a number of things on my to-do list for the day, and at some point I thought I'd never manage to figure all of them out. I was ready to just abandon the thought about my participation. Back to the EYP, back to that crucial choice of stepping back. Not knowing anything or anyone, I just, basically, jumped into the water.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced their release as he campaigned for snap parliamenta- ry elections slated for June 20. Pashinyan’s press secretary, Mane Gevorgyan, said that the POWs were repatriated to Armenia via Georgia. “The process took place with U.S. and Georgian mediation, for which the government of Armenia thanks Presidential candidate Robert Kocharyan during his online press conference the US administration and the Geor- gian government,” Gevorgyan wrote Presidential Candidate Kocharyan Gives Press Conference for Diaspora on Facebook.

  • Escalation of Violence in Nagorno-Karabakh and the Other Occupied Territories of Azerbaijan
    http://assembly.coe.int Doc. 13930 11 December 2015 Escalation of violence in Nagorno-Karabakh and the other occupied territories of Azerbaijan Report1 Committee on Political Affairs and Democracy Rapporteur: Mr Robert WALTER, United Kingdom, European Conservatives Group Summary The report condemns the escalation of violence since the summer of 2014 across the line of contact and along the international border between Armenia and Azerbaijan, including the deliberate targeting of civilian settlements. Recalling that both countries committed themselves, upon accession to the Council of Europe, to use only peaceful means for settling their conflict over the Nagorno-Karabakh region, the report warns that a further procrastination only complicates the settlement of this “un-frozen” conflict which has claimed over a hundred human lives since the beginning of 2014. The report calls on Armenia and Azerbaijan to make use of the OSCE Minsk Process and actively submit to each other, via the Minsk Group, constructive proposals for the peaceful settlement of the conflict in accordance with international law. Noting the lack of progress over the last twenty years, it also calls upon the Minsk Group to consider reviewing its approach to the resolution of the conflict. Finally, the report calls for a number of steps to be taken, in the framework of the OSCE Minsk Process, and proposes that the Assembly follows progress on a regular basis. 1.
