Overview
Since its independence, Armenia has emerged as a strategically
important country in the Caucasus, and its progress

to Armenia are many and varied, ranging from the cultural
bond of the large Armenian-American Diaspora community
to diverse personal connections, commercial interests,
and broader political relationships.
