YERID is an Armenian youth organization based in Istanbul, Turkey.

History[edit]

The organization was created in 2001 by the Armenian Patriarchate of Constantinople and continues to receive sponsorship from the Patriarchate today.[1] It is named as such because YERID is short for "Yeridasart" meaning youth in Armenian.[1] YERID aims at bringing together the Armenian youth in Istanbul through social interaction and various activities. The president of the organization is Arden Güldemir.[1]
