A 15-year walk across a 35-year Republic (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Fifteen years ago today, on the 20th anniversary of Armenia’s re-independence, I sat down as a young man fresh out of university and penned an earnest reflection, accompanied by a headshot of me sporting a look of naivety and a full head of hair (both long gone). I was in Yerevan volunteering through Birthright Armenia at a newly founded think tank, swept up in that intoxicating blend of pride and discovery that so often embraces diasporans when they first spend an extended season living in the
Review of Jennifer Manoukian's 'Purist Pursuits' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In contemporary Armenian discourse, few topics evoke as much raw emotion, deep-seated anxiety, and rigid gatekeeping as the state of the ‘mother tongue.’ For generations, speakers and learners of (Western) Armenian have been instructed to treat their language as a sacred relic—a treasure to be admired and kept pristine behind glass in a museum rather than a living, breathing tool to be used. Where did this uncompromising obsession with linguistic ‘purity’ originate? Why do so many diaspora Armen

When I moved to Watertown to work at the Armenian Weekly, I quickly mapped out my breakfast loyalties.

Book Review: 'Defeat: Documenting the Karabagh War of 2020' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Second Karabakh (Artsakh) War of 2020 (commonly known as the 44-Day War) and the subsequent ethnic cleansing and agonizing collapse of Artsakh in 2023 remain deeply open wounds in the modern Armenian psyche. In the wake of such existential trauma, domestic discourse frequently fractures into toxic binaries, trapped between reductionist narratives of betrayal, paralyzing grief or state-sanctioned political amnesia. Defeat: Documenting the Karabagh War of 2020, published by the Gomidas Institu
Beyond the “King of Armenians” syndrome: A blueprint for strategic resilience (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On June 25, the newly established Institute for Security Analysis (ISA), in partnership with NAASR and the Calouste Gulbenkian Series on Contemporary Armenian Issues, invited Dr. Henry C. Theriault for a public lecture at the AGBU Armenia Office Building in Yerevan. Following introductory remarks by ISA Operations Manager Anna Avagyan, Theriault, associate provost at Worcester State University and a two-term former president of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, set out to exami
