As the title suggests, I wish to explore certain aspects of
Armenia-Diaspora relations, focusing on charitable assistance over the
past 25 years. Specifically, I would like to track how diasporan giving
has evolved—or, rather, cut a serpentine path forward, moving from what I
would call emergency/immediate aid to more rehabilitative/developmental assistance
today. I will be painting a picture with a broad brush, seeking to
identify broader processes and trends, so I ask readers to accept this
as a work in progress.
