It has wide presence in the Armenian diaspora. Homenmen has established chapters in the Middle East (Lebanon, Syria, Kuwait), Europe (London, Paris), Australia, North and South Americas and more recently a presence in Armenia.

Although not officially admitted, it is considered to be affiliated with the Social Democrat Hunchakian Party and the party's sports and scouting wing. Its emblem, taken from the Social Democrat Hunchakian Party newspaper Hunchak, meaning "bell" in English, is taken by members to represent "awakening, enlightenment, and freedom."
