This international review of national youth policy in Armenia is the 13th in the series carried out since 1997 by the Youth Directorate of the Council of Europe. Like preceding reviews, it aims to fulfill three distinct objectives:-- to advise on national youth policy;-- to identify components which might combine to form a harmonised approach to "youth policy" across Europe; and-- to contribute to a learning process in relation to the development and implementation of youth policy.This review proved especially challenging, as Armenia is the first Commonwealth of Independent States country to seek such a youth policy review. This report goes from the historical background through to the present day, presenting information collected by the international review team, along with its analyses and recommendations concerning the development, perspectives and challenges for the future of youth policy in Armenia.
