The Republic of Armenia’s Office of the High Commissioner for Diaspora Affairs is proud to launch “iGorts,” an unprecedented program which invites Diaspora Armenian professionals to work in Armenia’s state institutions.

Within the framework of the program, Diaspora Armenian professionals and specialists will be placed in State agencies in need of their expertise and will have the opportunity to lend their experience and knowledge toward improving and developing the state institution and its policies and programs.

If you have a master’s degree or higher and are willing to live and work in Armenia for one year then this program is for you.

Program costs for the participants will be covered by the Office of the High Commissioner for Diaspora Affairs of the Republic of Armenia, in the form of a round-trip air ticket, and monthly fee to cover living expenses.

The program will begin on July 1 and last 12 months. Applications are now open, and individuals are encouraged to apply. The application deadline is April 6.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
