ABOUT - Institute of Nations

Dear friends,

WELCOME!

I am sure that we are all facing realities when it’s hard to see our likeness when we differ so much. Sometimes it’s hard to step out the borders that make us apart. Sometimes it’s hard to believe that the world can be a better place.
And here comes the importance of being unified. The Institute of Nations Foundation is based on the belief that a safe future can be guaranteed only when humanity finds the way to be united. Partners, colleagues, volunteers, we welcome everyone who values the significance of peace, empathy, cooperation, mutual support and understanding.
Sharing ideas, discussing the problems, searching for solutions, and simply holding hands: Institute of Nations Development Foundation suggests this way to unity. The journey to a better world is long, yet the future belongs to the dreamer. Join us!
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Armen Arzumanyan
IoN Founder and Chairman
