The arch (Kamar) is our national symbol. It has stood for centuries as the witness of our people’s genius, the unbroken backbone of our identity. Carved in stone, rising in churches, bridges, governments, and apartment buildings, it carries the continuity of Armenian civilization across time.
The Arch: Both a Bridge and a Gate
Our arch is a bridge. It unites Armenians living in Armenia, on the Armenian Highlands and in the Diaspora. It binds together all who resist submission and those who yearn for a rebirth of our nation.
Our arch is a gate. It links past and future, channeling the energy, faith, and work of generations into a single path forward: national unity, sovereignty, and strength.
The foundation of Kamar is the Armenian people: horizontal, equal, united. From East to West, in Armenia and beyond, we are the living foundation and the cornerstone of our future democracy.
The Three Arches: Nation, Homeland, State
The three arches carry the destiny of our people:
• The first arch, supreme and eternal, is the Nation (Azg). It is the spirit and soul of Armenians, the force that protects and uplifts.
• The second arch is the Homeland (Hayrenik). Land and soil, mountains and rivers, the sacred ground without which the nation cannot breathe.
• The third arch is the State (Bedoutioun). The organized power of a free Armenian people, the structure upon which our survival and prosperity depend.
These arches cannot be separated. If one falls, all collapse. If one thrives, all rise together.
We are Azg Araj. The time has come to unite and rebuild our Nation, our Homeland, and our State.
Join us. Spread the word.
