The article analyzes the interrelation between Armenian studies in the main foreign policy and international affairs think tanks in France and the decision-making process, and also the Armenian diaspora's influence on this process. The main part of researchers and experts dealing with the Armenian themes in the think tanks of France, is of Armenian descent, and first of all they are interested in the political issues of the country of their origin. Think tanks have different methods of bringing their intellectual product to the decision-makers. Think tanks can influence decision-makers through the public opinion, disseminating the results of their research and ideas through the media or through the publication of political journals. Speech of the researchers as experts during hearing in the Parliament is also one of the methods for an influence on politics. In the article particular attention is given to the quantitative analysis of the impact of the researchers and think tanks on the political process.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Данная статья посвящена актуальной и малоисследованной теме изучения проблематики Армении в мозговых центрах Франции. В статье рассматривается взаимосвязь между интересами ведущих мозговых центров Франции к изучению «армянской проблематики» и процессом принятия политических решений, а также влияние на этот процесс со стороны армянской диаспоры, проживающей во Франции. Основная часть исследователей и экспертов, занимающихся армянской проблематикой в аналитических центрах Франции, имеет армянское происхождение, и в первую очередь они проявляют интерес к политическим вопросам страны своего происхождения. Мозговые центры пользуются различными методами доведения интеллектуального продукта до лиц, принимающих решение. В статье особое внимание уделено количественному анализу влияния исследователей и мозговых центров на политический процесс страны.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>think tanks</kwd><kwd>France</kwd><kwd>Armenian studies</kwd><kwd>Armenian diaspora</kwd><kwd>decision-making process</kwd><kwd>foreign policy</kwd><kwd>international relations</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>мозговые центры</kwd><kwd>Франция</kwd><kwd>армянские исследования</kwd><kwd>армянская диаспора</kwd><kwd>процесс принятия решений</kwd><kwd>внешняя политика</kwd><kwd>международные отношения</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Istomin I.A.
