"Armenians and the Left" organizes conferences, talks and discussion groups that take a critical look at, and offer progressive analyses of, a range of subjects pertinent to the Armenian people’s political, social and economic situation within a global context. These public forums explore alternative ways of understanding Armenia’s predicament besides the conventional, state-centered approaches and examine how Armenian activists can build coalitions with other dispossessed groups and progressive movements.
 
The first "Armenians and the Left" conference was held in New York and Boston in April of 2006 and was jointly hosted by the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) in the Eastern United States and the Nation Institute (publishers of The Nation magazine). The conference opened up numerous essential topics and critical perspectives, many of which rarely figure as priorities in the mainstream agenda of Armenian-American politics such as globalization, American militarism, human rights in Armenia, reparations, women and political power, Armeno-Turkish dialog, etc….
