ROLE OF THE KAREN JEPPE ARMENIAN COLLEGE IN PRESERVING THE ARMENIAN IDENTITY OF THE COMMUNITY

Abstract

The postgenocidal diaspora is over 100 years old. For a century, all educational institutions of
the diaspora, without exception, have tried to build their identity in new conditions. They built a
church, a school, cultural and trade union institutions, organizations in their midst and became
239
Armenian communities, where a new life for the Armenian diaspora that survived the genocide
was born.
This article discusses the activities of the National Karen Yeppe Jemaran in Aleppo since
1947 to preserve the Armenian identity and national education of the community, noting that
Jemaran is the only secondary school where 100% of the students are Armenian.
