The ancient lands of the Armenians comprehended a great variety
of borders and fostered millennia-long mutual influences to and
from the lands which surrounded it. Additionally, the diaspora
of the Armenian people is centuries old and is far flung. One of
the 15 federated republics of the Soviet Union through-out most
of the twentieth century, Armenia declared its independence in
1991. The sites listed in each category of this selective portal
page have been chosen for their utility in providing accurate narrative
(either brief or extensive) information, as well as directories,
extensive portal pages and other resources concerning all aspects
of Armenian life and culture. They originate both in the Republic
of Armenia as well as in the various communities of the Armenian
Diaspora. All are either English language alone or bi- or trilingual
lingual, unless noted in an annotation which follows. Many sites
offer down-loadable Armenian and Russian fonts to make them easily
accessible. For a variety of reasons, the links to Armenia and
the NIS countries in general are often inactive; we recommend that
you try again, should you not be successful in connecting.
