About Us

The Office of the High Commissioner for Diaspora Affairs was established on June 11, 2019. The Office is responsible for developing and implementing the strategies and policies for all Armenia-Diaspora relations, supporting and encouraging repatriation, ensuring an active integration process, mapping the Diaspora's potential, and implementing programs to integrate the Diaspora into every aspect of Armenian life. Zareh Sinanyan is the High Commissioner for Diaspora Affairs, he repatriated to Armenia with his family.

We are committed to the future and prosperity of Armenians living in Armenia and the Diaspora, the preservation of Armenian identity, and the maximal integration of these two inseparable parts of the Armenian nation. The strength and viability of Armenia and the Diaspora are dependent on one another, and our goals and policies are meant to further these mutually dependent interests. 

The Office of the High Commissioner acts as the critical bridge - bringing our people together and fully engaging Diasporans with the homeland. Through the active participation and commitment of the Diaspora, we can create the homeland that we have all dreamt about and in doing so strengthen and empower the Diaspora.
