Dr. Turgut Kerem Tuncel's book Armenian Diaspora has been published by AVIM.

It is an often observed and commented case that the Armenian diaspora - dispersed and settled around the world - is able to play a role in the shaping of the policy making of the Armenian government, and that it can especially influence and even block Turkey-Armenia relations. In spite of this, few research or academic work has been done on the Armenian diaspora beyond quantitative data.

It can be foreseen that Dr. Turgut Kerem Tuncel’s book titled Armenian Diaspora, published by Center for Eurasian Studies (AVIM), will contribute to the remedying of the deficiency on this subject. Dr. Tuncel’s book seeks to impartially inform its readers about such topics as the current state of the Armenian diaspora, its approach to Armenia, and identity formation and the basis of this formation in the diaspora. For this reason, it is hoped that the book will be of benefit to both the academic community and policy practitioners.
