Today the Ministry of Diaspora launched the trilingual Virtual Museum of Armenian Diaspora at www.armdiasporamuseum.com.

“Armenians are one nation regardless of the residence, and Armenia is the Homeland of all Armenians. This was the idea that became the slogan of the museum,” Minister of Diaspora Hranush Hakobyan said during the presentation of the new website.

The aim of the Virtual Museum of Armenian Diaspora is to introduce the history of Armenian people, the present and the future. The project will make the history, cultural heritage and achievements of Armenian people available to public, will develop and inculcate among the young people of Diaspora the idea of Armenian national identity, the feeling of pride for belonging to the Armenian nation, will make Armenian communities of Diaspora recognizable to each other. It is also called to strengthen the ties between Homeland and Diaspora, as well as between Armenian communities of Diaspora.

The website is still available only in Eastern Armenian, Russian and English. The classical Armenian version will be prepared in the near future.
