Everyone’s problem, nobody’s fault: Armenia’s literacy crisis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Author’s note: About a month ago, I interviewed Mher Davtyan, an educational expert who is a doctoral researcher in education at the University of Cambridge. The interview would focus on Davtyan’s journey as a boy from Vanadzor who made it to Cambridge. Among the diverse topics we discussed, one was particularly important to him: Davtyan, together with his team, had conducted research on the literacy of Armenian children. A few days ago, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development
How Hayk Heritage turns shirts into stories (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The screen is on, and I’m about to start an online conversation with a man who creates shirts — but not simple ones. Suddenly, the portrait of Monte Melkonian, an Armenian American revolutionary and left-wing nationalist militant, appears.

Read excerpt
In 2021, I went to interview Dr. Hayk Hovhannisyan, who traveled from Yerevan to help his colleagues in Nagorno-Karabakh during the 2020 war between Armenia and Azerbaijan. When I arrived at his house, I noticed a small clay donkey on the TV table and asked where it came from. He said that when they had to leave Hadrut, he entered the children’s art center, found the donkey and brought it to Yerevan as a memory, a symbol of freedom. Afterward, I started calling my friends from Artsakh to find th
Why Goris is worth the journey (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sixteen years ago, when I was 20, my university classmate bought a car. When he suggested taking my friends and me to Goris, I decided to go, even though I had classes and a part-time job. My classmate Ani was from Goris, so we didn’t have to worry about accommodations. On that rainy day, when I finished work, the only boy in our group, who was our driver, and three girls, including me, headed off to one of the best adventures of my life. Now, at 36, I take my 10-year-old son to Goris because he
