Eligible candidates can be all Diaspora organizations (educational centers, mass media, community structure, Armenian studies Center and creative groups) whose activities are aimed at the developing and mainstreaming the Armenian identity and ensuring the consolidation of Armenians.



The World Armenian Congress was founded in October 2003 as a union for Armenian NGO's, and has since reached an international status. The WAC objective is to strengthen relations between Armenia and the Armenian Diaspora, contribute to Armenia's economic development and the peaceful settlement of the Karabakh conflict, as well as international recognition of Armenian Genocide.
