I am Artak Kishmiryan from the city of Perm of Russia.

I graduated from Perm Polytechnic University with a bachelor's degree in oil and gas business, a master's degree in industrial safety. Apart from that I have a qualification in state and municipal management.

My professional activity isn’t connected with my education. Since 2018, I've been working at a school as a teacher-organizer, then I was invited to the Ministry of Economic Development and Investments of Perm Region as a project manager of the Department of Foreign Economic Activities.

I have been involved in community activities with the «Ari Tun» program implemented by the Ministry of Diaspora of the RA and the «Diaspora Young Leaders' School» course. The latter was life-changing for me. After returning to the community, I was appointed the chairman of the youth committee of the Perm district, and I am still holding that position.

As a participant of the «Diaspora Youth Ambassador» program, my goal is to develop bonds between our community and the Motherland, as well as to promote the idea of repatriation among the youth.
