The study will deal with the analysis of symbolic and interpretative mechanisms of the formation of historical memory in its interrelationship with the Armenian national identity. The scientific international team proposes to consider historical memory as a special mechanism for the preservation, processing, and transmission of important social information. It is assumed that the components and factors that make up the national identity can function only by acquiring meaning and symbolic significance and forming a coherent discourse explaining what is a nation, what is its purpose, what are its unifying ideas about the past, present, and future.
