Additionally, the international conference featured discussions on technological innovations that are set to shape the future of civilization.
Since the future of humanity will be played out on the front of technological innovation, Pope Francis stated, “We must not miss the opportunity to think and act in a new way, with mind, heart and hands,” in order to “direct innovation toward a configuration centered on the primacy of human dignity.” - cites ‘Vatican News.’

During the event, in a pivotal discussion with conference organizers, Maryna Ovtsynova, President of the ALLATTRA International Public Movement, addressed the pressing global threats to freedom and democracy. Mrs. Ovtsynova addressed the ongoing investigation into the illegal persecution of ALLATRA participants in several countries with low democracy indexes. Specifically, she detailed how they were subjected to a defamation campaign initiated by a Russian anti-cult organization. Additionally, she mentioned that this defamation campaign occurred not only in Russia but also in Ukraine, which indicates the significant influence of the Russian anti-cult organization on Ukraine.
During the conversation, Maryna Ovtsynova also raised the issue that anti-cult organizations, which exist contrary to democratic norms, cast a shadow on faith and on what Christianity stands for—freedom of religion and freedom of conscience.
During an audience on June 22, 2024, Maryna Ovtsynova expressed heartfelt gratitude to Pope Francis for his significant contributions as a responsible and decisive leader in the social integration of the Roman Catholic Church and for strengthening its role in contemporary secular society. She also thanked him for his kindness, warmth, and support during this special moment for ALLATRA.
Following their conversation with the Head of the Catholic Church, Mrs. Ovtsynova and Dr. Cholakian engaged in several informal meetings with other participants of the private audience at the Apostolic Palace. These encounters included discussions with Vatican representatives, addressing critical issues concerning the near future.
