Kurdistan24 reporters toured Yerevan State University's Department of Kurdology, an academic institution established in 2015. The center specializes in Kurdish historical research, with a particular focus on the Soviet era through 1991. Researcher Liana Mihoyan described ongoing scholarly publications and the preparation of a cultural album documenting Kurdish life during Soviet times. Armenia hosts 37,470 Kurdish residents according to 2011 census data, primarily concentrated in western regions.

The Kurdish community adopted various writing systems throughout the 20th century, transitioning from the Armenian script to Latin in 1927 and then to Cyrillic in 1945. Yerevan became a cultural center for Kurdish media through radio broadcasts and the newspaper Riya Teze. This academic department preserves historical memory while training the next generation of researchers. The institution bridges generational gaps and maintains Kurdish intellectual traditions within Armenia and former Soviet territories.
