Hamazkayin Armenian Educational and Cultural Society

Hamazkayin aims to bestow the young generation with Armenian education, as well as the cyllabus of the host country. The organization’s goals also include preserving national identity and cultural traditions in a people living outside its homeland. Successive chapters of Hamazkayin were thus created in all the communities of the Middle East, as well as in Europe, the United States, Canada, South America, and Australia. Since the Republic of Armenia regained its independence, Hamazkayin has also had a representative office in Armenia. Hamazkayin has established a number of secondary and higher education institutions. Acknowledged writers, philologists and political activists have graduated from those institutions. Hamazkayin has also undertaken immense publishing activities. For the past 70 years, as well as for some 30 years in the United States, Hamazkayin has facilitated the cultural progress of the Armenian people.
