ACNIS, the nation’s trusted Center, its original independent think tank on critical matters of public policy and international affairs, turned 25 last year.

A quarter century in ceaseless civic service with impeccable standards of scholarship, the Armenian Center for National and International Studies and its flagship weekly “Hayatsk Yerevanits” have brought together the best of Hayastan, Artsakh, and the Diaspora.

Often short on resources and occasionally tested by the pettiness, partisanship and myopia of our environment—internal and external—we have continually risen above and always delivered a world-class benchmark of collective work product.

It has been our honor to serve sovereign Armenia and her people the world over in what has become the most challenging but also the finest hour in our modern history.

In diversity, we hold, there is strength. In unity—power.

And so it is a privilege to continue offering our fair share.

Faith and Fatherland.
