YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 19, ARMENPRESS. Turkish-Armenian singer Sibil has praised the Global Armenian Summit for serving as a platform uniting Armenians from across the world for discussions.
Sibil has traveled to Yerevan to attend the summit as a speaker at the panel discussion about culture.
She said the event will contribute to the development of the country and the Diaspora.
“I am not a politician, I am an artist, I am a singer in the Diaspora, but definitely politics is in all of this. Of course, we should unite around a table to speak and understand one another. We get to know many different people from all around the world here, but our hearts beat the same way for our homeland. This unity and cooperation is highly important for us, especially now. Today we have the chance to unite around one table, ask questions, hear advices, which will contribute to the strengthening of the homeland and the diaspora,” the singer said.
Sibil said she’s “honored” to participate in the summit where she will speak about “the need and importance of making the voice of arts heard.”
“As you know I was born in Turkey and I’ve been singing in Armenian language since the first day. We’ve been living on that land for centuries, but there are no Armenian songs there, and the society doesn’t know about Armenian songs. One of my goals is to promote Armenian songs there,” she said.
She said the Global Armenian Summit is the best platform to find ways for the development of Armenian culture in the Diaspora.
