Religious organisations [edit]
The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) and Transcendental Meditation organisations are both active in Armenia.[1] In 1990 ISKCON was, for the first time, officially registered as a religion in Armenia. There are now about 250 ISKCON members resident in Armenia and ISKCON maintains congregations in the towns of Gyumri, Kirovakan, Yeghegnadzor, Kapan and Ashtarak.
