Genocide No More: A Call for Armenians to Reclaim Faith and Identity
On the Sunday following the 111th commemoration of the Armenian Genocide, a powerful message is being echoed across the Armenian world: “Genocide — No More.”
More than a remembrance, it is a call to action.
While 1.5 million Armenians were systematically exterminated in 1915, the sermon warns that the long-term consequences extend beyond physical loss — pointing to a deeper erosion of faith, identity, and connection to the Armenian Church.
According to the message, fewer than 3% of Armenians in the United States and just 0.3% in Armenia attend church on non-holiday Sundays — figures described as an existential crisis for a nation that was the first to adopt Christianity. 
The message is clear: remembrance alone is no longer enough.
Armenians worldwide are being urged not only to honor the past, but to actively rebuild — by returning to the Church, strengthening community, and preserving the spiritual foundation that has defined the nation for centuries.
“Genocide No More” is no longer just a phrase.
It is a challenge — to ensure that survival is not only physical, but cultural, spiritual, and generational.

Thank you for this production.
It's interesting where you acquired the stars. The reason I question your figures is I've lived in a Armenia for a few years and observed their citizen strongly defend the church. They visit churches on a daily basis especially on Saturdays and Sundays. They are now fighting against their PM Pashwho is attacking the Church to destabilise the institution and authority, which under the constitution is SEPARATE from the State. The churches and monestaries also have individual churchl name days eg last week it was St Paul/St Peter monestary day where people arrive from all over the country in pilgrimage. Sorry but from what I've observed over the years across this tiny landlocked nation, Armenians are strongly devout of their faith. You only need to walk any street or jump on any bus or taxi to see the expression of their unwavering faith. I don't agree with your 3% figure and hope it wasn't a figure acquired by the anti-Church Pashinyan government.
None the less, thank you for your presentation.
