2006 a group of supporters created a platform for discussions on the most important topics for Armenia-centric Armenians, where the main topics were the Armenian identity in the modern era, the geopolitical and socio-economic developments around Armenia, the opportunities for cultural transformation in Armenia, etc. A number of initiatives and organizations were later born from this platform, including the Arar Foundation.<\/p>

“Arar” Civilizational Research Foundation was founded in 2014 with the mission of providing fundamental solutions to the most important challenges facing Armenia.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
