The Color of Pomegranates
This fall, I sat impatiently as the humble pomegranate tree in my backyard blossomed, hoping that at least a few flowers would give way to the round, supple fruit I loved so much. The above photo showcases the fruits of labor of my little pomegranate tree that could, and while only two midsized pomegranates came [...]

Meghker: The Anatomy of an Armenian Word
“Meghker! Meghker!” If you are Armenian you have probably heard this phrase uttered before, by your mother, or your father, aunts, uncles, many times your grandparents. I remember when I first heard it said by my mother, I didn’t understand what she was saying, and I asked her what it meant. She said it was [...]
Culture Vulture: Photojournalist Anush Babajanyan
“I don’t feel words have less power,” says Armenian photojournalist Anush Babajanyan, “but images can put someone in a sort of trance, sometimes I look at a photo for several minutes, loving and feeling it.” A graduate of the American University in Bulgaria, Babajanyan contends those are exactly the types of photos she wants to [...]

The Language Lament: Embrace Multiculturalism
The fact that Armenian as a language, has survived under the rule of multiple empires over the centuries is a testament to the power and importance that language has in the hearts of Armenians. I was reading some articles on ArmenianWeekly.com and came across an article by Henry Astarjian, Astarjian: ‘Bazaar’ and ‘Kef’: Is our [...]
Overheard on the Net: Unibrows, Ancient Armenian Men
I love the ancient Armenian men who sit and drink espresso all day and swear at each other. You know, it is entertaining, until you see these men on every corner in Glendale, with their clouds of cigarette smoke that follow them everywhere they go. I prefer the grandpas in the parks who do something [...]
The Half-Armenian Identity: But Your Name Is…
I have encountered the phrase “but your name is,” countless times when I meet new Armenians and non-Armenians alike. Explaining to non-Armenians that my mom is the Armenian has never been too hard but it is the conversations with Armenians that always tend to get me. Most if not all half-Armenians with an Armenian mother [...]
