Abstract

The article focuses on the role of language in diasporic resistance during wartime, particularly examining how diasporic communities reclaim and utilize their heritage language as a form of resistance. Topics include the historical and ongoing impact of wars on Armenian diaspora communities, the centrality of language in Armenian identity and mobilization, and the transformative effects of digital media on transnational activism and conflicts like the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War.
