Ethnicity and National Identity in Armenia

In Armenia, ethnicity refers to a shared cultural and historical heritage among the Armenian people, including language, traditions, and ancestors. National identity pertains to how Armenians see themselves as a nation, emphasizing their unique history, sovereignty, and collective belonging. Both concepts are intertwined; ethnicity forms the basis of Armenian identity, while national identity involves pride, political unity, and the acknowledgment of Armenia as their homeland. These aspects strengthen community bonds and define Armenia’s cultural and political character on the global stage.
