Common Ground aims to help Armenians here and abroad form a consensus around Armenia’s future development as a welcoming home for all Armenians and to promote a sense of responsibility and foster action to make Armenia an exemplary country worthy of our ancient culture and heritage. Nether a political party nor think tank, it is inspired by the cautionary maxim, without vision the people perish, Common Ground is a place to talk openly, share knowledge, gain insight, clarify our thinking and create a better understanding of options, so that we are equipped to act responsibly and intelligently as Armenia and the Armenian nation face the challenges of the coming decade. More succinctly: Vision without action is a daydream, action without vision is a nightmare. Our goal is action with vision. Common Ground aims to foster vision so that our actions will realize our dreams.
