In recent years a new discourse on “global Armenians” is increasingly becoming part of an effort of constructing a post-Genocide Armenian identity in the Diaspora — and Armenia.

EVN Report podcast, 6 June 2017
Arto Vaun sits down with scholar and sociologist Hratch Tchilingirian to discuss Armenian-Diaspora relations and Armenian identity in a post-truth context.
Türkiye’de yeni Ermeni Patriğinin seçilmesi süreci, geleneksel devlet dayatmaları, idari zorluklar ve Ermeni toplumuna yönelik keyfi muamelelerle karşı karşıya. Durum geçtiğimiz haftalarda Patrikhanedeki üst düzey din adamlarının meseleyi bölücü bir büyük krize dönüştüren şahsi çatışmaları ve hırsları nedeniyle daha da kötüleşti.
