Armenopedia

Overview

Armenopedia is designed to bridge information gaps within the Armenian world through 15 comprehensive and dynamic directories. Each directory provides concise, reliable data that is fully searchable and filterable by location, field, scale, and expertise. The platform will feature two intuitive navigation bars—one organized geographically and the other thematically—enabling users to easily explore information by region or topic.
