Who Are We? Results Of A Large Study About Armenian Identity & Culture Now Available

Following three years of research in 2019, 2021 and 2022 the Armenian Diaspora Project has published the results of its comprehensive Armenian Diaspora Survey.

Researchers asked 12,000 Armenians in more than fifty diaspora communities to provide their opinions on identity, language, culture, and relations with the Republic of Armenia. The research provides community leaders and policymakers with information about Armenian communities around the world and improves their understanding of diasporic life.

The Armenian diaspora is multifaceted, complex, and geographically spread but the main subject around which virtually all themes in diasporic life orbit is Armenian identity. The survey found that the Armenian diaspora identity is largely self- defined, fluid, and personalized. It is shaped by multiple variables, including community and education.

Even individuals living in the same country, state, or city have different perceptions, opinions, and understanding of what it means to be Armenian.

The Armenian Diaspora Survey was funded by the Armenian Communities Department of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and carried out by the Armenian Institute in London.
