For most of its history, Armenia was controlled or occupied by external powers, including Assyrians, Persians, Romans, Mongols, Turks, and Russians, although independent Armenian states also existed for short periods of time in the past. In 1922 Armenia was incorporated into the USSR, but after the movement toward independence in the late 1980s, Armenia seceded from the USSR in September 1991. It became a member of the United Nations in 1992, a member of the Council of Europe in 2001. Due to the war that broke out in the early 1990s, Armenia is still suffering from economic difficulties that affect Armenians’ daily lives. In 2012, the population of Armenia was 2.97 million, of which the number of girls and young women aged 5-19 years old is 264,000. National population has been declining since 1991, following the break-up of the USSR, largely due to high levels of emigration. Ethnic Armenians make up 90 per cent of the population, with the next largest groups being Kurds and Russians (each being less than 2 per cent of the population).

  • Nsk) Og Nsk Styregruppe Året 2016
    ÅRSRAPPORT FOR SPEJDERNES NORDISKE SAMARBEJDSKOMITE (NSK) OG NSK STYREGRUPPE ÅRET 2016 I begyndelsen af 2016 overtog Danmark formandskabet i Spejdernes Nordiske Samar- bejdskomité (NSK) fra Island. Derfor varetages formandskabet for NSK samt styregrup- pen for samarbejdet af repræsentanter for den danske spejderbevægelse. Foråret 2016 bød på stor udskiftning i både styregruppe, formandskab og blandt de øvrige medlemmer af NSK. Den ene formand for NSK’s styregruppe blev udskiftet i maj. Formandsteamet for styre- gruppen består nu af Anne Lintrup og Daniel Berthelsen. Næsten samtidigt blev begge formænd for NSK udskiftet (ifm. den europæiske spejderkonference i juni 2016). De tid- ligere formænd havde valgt at søge nye frivillige opgaver i andre sammenhænge. De to nye formænd for NSK er Monica Lyby (international kommissionær for WAGGGS) og Kri- stian Kvist (international kommissionær for WOSM). Flere af NSK’s ordinære medlemmer (dvs. de internationale kommissionærer for de re- spektive nordiske lande) er ligeledes stoppet i løbet af året, og nye repræsentanter er trådt til. Det er en naturlig udvikling, da internationale kommissærer typisk udpeges af deres medlemsorganisationen med et tidsbegrænset mandat. Den løbende udskiftning har givet grobund for en løbende dialog om det nordiske spejderarbejde og samarbejdet i komitéen. Det har været en god og lærerig proces, og der har gennem året været en god og konstruktiv dialog, hvor alle de nordiske lande har været involveret. HJEMMESIDEN – www.speidereinorden.org I løbet af 2016 er der blevet lagt kræfter i at rydde op, opdatere og omstrukturere NSK’s hjemmeside. Vi har valgt at fortsætte med den supporter i Island, der har hjulpet Island med at opbygge hjemmesiden, og har oplevet et godt og konstruktivt samarbejde mellem supporteren og styregruppen om at få alle de ønskede ændringer implementeret.
