After consultation with educational and cultural organizations and Western Armenian linguists, Catholicos of the Holy See of Cilicia Aram I nominated a diaspora-wide 25-member Council to work towards the preservation and protection of Western Armenian language.
The creation of the Council for the Preservation of Western Armenian Language had been recommended at a conference Catholicos Aram I organized in 2011 in Bikfaya, Lebanon to study how the Armenian Genocide and its consequent diaspora had affected the usage of the language.
The nominees to the Council living in Lebanon met with His Holiness on July 12, 2012. They received the list of members and a draft document, stating the goals and programmatic guidelines, which has been sent to all members asking for their input. The goals and guidelines will be publicized after all comments are incorporated.
