Abstract
An overview of the current activities of the Armenian astronomy, including professional research, University and school education, public outreach and other organizational affairs. We show that present day Armenian astronomy serves as a leader for the regional activities, as well as is among the most advanced and active sciences in Armenia. Moreover, recent achievements during the years 2000-2018 are such that many years efforts since Viktor Ambartsumian’s times were necessary and finally received recognition in various fields. BAO was recognized as National Value, regional astronomical centre, and Markarian Survey was included in UNESCO Memory of the World documentary heritage list. We succeeded to organize a number of important meetings (IAU symposia and colloquium, JENAM, etc.) and establish a series of Byurakan International Summer Schools. We also present the Armenian Astronomical Society’s (ArAS) and IAU South West and Central Asian regional centre’s activities.
