Participants in the 2025-2026 iGorts program of the Office of the High Commissioner for Diaspora Affairs of the Republic of Armenia continue to explore Armenia’s historical and cultural heritage, as well as the country’s key cultural institutions, alongside their professional activities.

As part of these efforts, the participants visited the Mesrop Mashtots Institute of Ancient Manuscripts (Matenadaran), where they learned about the centuries-old history of Armenian manuscript culture and were introduced to modern methods of manuscript preservation and restoration.

This year, 44 Diaspora Armenian professionals from 15 countries are contributing their expertise and experience to Armenia’s development and the enhancement of public administration efficiency while serving in various government institutions across the country.
