On November 12, an interactive meeting was held at the diocesan center of the Armenian Diocese of Great Britain and Ireland in London under the patronage of the Diocesan Primate, His Grace Bishop Hovakim Manukyan.

The national identity was touched upon in the discussion, an open exchange of ideas took place.
The event was part of the ongoing "Wine and Philosophy" program for young people, initiated by Mr. Chilingiryan a decade ago. The program now continues in collaboration with the diocesan leader, which aims to provide a platform for young people to engage in discussions and explore different aspects of Armenian identity in a contemporary context.
