The Role Of Diaspora In Shaping The Foreign Policy Choice Of Armenia

Abstract

In this research, the relationship between a strong diaspora and a state that is not of the same strength, or even weaker than diaspora, is studied on the example of Armenia. One of the areas in which the Diaspora has the greatest influence on Armenia is Armenia's foreign policy. As well as the Diaspora's support for Armenia in its foreign policy, the confrontation of interests between the Diaspora and Armenia often occurs. In addition to taking into account the opinion of the Diaspora in foreign policy, Armenia even has to relinquish its sovereignty to some extent in foreign policy issues in favor of the Diaspora. In my research, I will try to study the Diaspora-Armenia relations and the extent to which the Diaspora influences Armenia's various foreign policy priorities.
