The Global Armenian Summit will be held from October 28th to 31st in Yerevan. The summit will serve as a dynamic forum for representatives of the Diaspora, together with their local counterparts, to discuss the most pressing challenges and strategic questions of pan-Armenian significance. The agenda of the summit will include topics such as national security, protecting Armenia's interests globally, repatriation, economic engagement, preservation of Armenian identity, Diaspora representation within Armenia's governing structures, and self-organization within the Diaspora. The proposals, solutions, and results achieved at the summit will serve as the cornerstone for developing new approaches to our common pan-Armenian agenda. The summit will provide Armenia and the Diaspora the opportunity to identify priorities and develop a roadmap for future cooperation.
ARMENIAN DIASPORA COMMUNITIES
LEARN MOREFor centuries the Armenian nation has been a unique bridge between the east and the west. Due to the loss of Armenian statehood and numerous foreign invasions, Armenian communities have formed in neighboring countries and regions since the Middle Ages. As a result of the Armenian Genocide, hundreds of thousands of survivors found refuge in various parts of the world, forming what is known today as the "traditional Armenian Diaspora." The Diaspora further expanded due to the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the ensuing economic and regional turmoil.
