Armenian nationalism

Armenian nationalism is a political and cultural movement advocating for the interests, identity, and unity of the Armenian people. It emerged in the 19th century, driven by a desire for independence and self-determination, particularly in response to the Ottoman Empire's oppression. Central to Armenian nationalism is the preservation of Armenian culture, language, and history, especially in light of the traumatic experiences like the Armenian Genocide during World War I. Today, it continues to shape Armenia's national policies and its diaspora's identity, promoting solidarity among Armenians worldwide while emphasizing their heritage and aspirations for recognition and justice.
