In 2006, a group of supporters founded the 5165 Club, the goal of which was to establish a platform for discussions regarding important topics for an Armenia-centric nation. This platform later became a springboard of several initiatives and organizations such as Repat Armenia and Arar Foundations. Topics of Club discussions include Armenian national identity in the modern era, geopolitical and social-economic developments surrounding Armenia, potential avenues for the Armenia’s cultural transformation, etc. The Club is an informal association of supporters.

In 2013, 12 members of the 5165 Club initiated the establishment of Arar Foundation as a focal point for the analysis and implementation of key reform projects in Armenia..
