The Armenian Diaspora and the state of Armenia have a complex relationship that can sometimes be confrontational. The fundamental issue is the divergence of interests between the established state and the diaspora, mainly in the current reaction to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Despite the differences, the diaspora has a solid connection to the homeland, particularly its history and national identity. The diaspora despite its presence before the genocide of 1915, the Armenian Genocide has been seen as the starting point of the diaspora. The diaspora has, over time, since then, had a decisive say in various initiatives of the Armenian state across the international arena, particularly in the assistance of the Genocide recognition. Armenian Genocide recognition is an integral part of the Armenian Foreign policy. Therefore, the diaspora, through various initiatives, including the use of pressure groups in their home state, ensured support for the recognition of the genocide and enhanced the foreign policy initiatives of the Armenian state. The diaspora involvement is not limited to the Armenian Genocide recognition; it also contributes to and assists in understanding the current conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh. The Armenian diaspora also enhances the relationship with the home nations, mainly where the diaspora is highly influential in the political and societal sphere.
