This commemorative medal celebrates the 300th anniversary of the Russian and New-Nakhichevan Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church. Established in 1717, the diocese has been a beacon of faith and a cornerstone of the Armenian community in Russia. Throughout its history, the diocese has played a pivotal role in preserving the national identity and cultural heritage of the Armenian people, especially those living outside their homeland. It has been involved in various activities, including religious services, pastoral care, educational work, and cultural diplomacy. The diocese has also been a significant contributor to charitable activities and social service, working towards the welfare of the Armenian community and the broader society. Furthermore, it has fostered interfaith and interethnic peace and harmony, interacting with state, public, and religious organizations, and strengthening the dialogue with other Christian churches and religious organizations.
