There are 5 factors in modern world affecting Armenians' worldview, RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan said during the discussion titled "Relieving Ourselves from the Past". The event was organized within the frames of World Sociology Congress. "The first factor is the rapid", the Prime Minister said, "is the paces which change life, and we don't manage to catch up with them. The second factor is that the world is really becoming a smaller place. In the early 1990's, for instance, Armenian Brazil was not so close to us as it is now. The third factor is education. While in the past, society's main asset was industry and production, today we need a knowledge-based society. The forth factor is the opportunity for personal self-realization. And the fifth, fundamental problem is the phenomenon of national culture. Every day, one language in the world becomes "dead".

The Prime Minister focused on two issues: NKR conflict and Armenian-Turkish ties normalization. As important subjects responsible for their solution, he emphasized the role of Armenia, NKR and entire Armenian community.

The solution of such problems requires a political dialogue, something Armenia lacks now, Sargsyan stressed.
