Building Clay Bridges: Ceramic Art for Yerevan’s Children
It’s just after noon on a cloudy but bright December day, and the cold, grey-white sunshine pours through large windows overlooking a cluster of apartment buildings neighboring Yerevan’s Matenadaran ancient manuscript repository. Vivid, abstract paintings and three-dimensional creations adorn the high walls of this room and the dark wooden hallway I passed through to reach [...]
23 Years Later, Gyumri Struggles to Move On
The train from Yerevan to Gyumri took three hours. It was sturdy, but Soviet. Sturdy but Soviet. I sat on its wooden pews, looked at its safety posters with Cyrillic letters I could recognize, but not understand.

Marshutka Fever: Public Transport, Caucasus Style
Deep within the Post-Soviet space, a public transportation system of mythical proportions (and one that virtually breaks any and all safety code violations known to the West) exists on pot-hole riddled, yet beautiful picturesque roads. It glides up and down streets, blasting the most awesomely bad play list of Armenian, Russian and Eastern European songs, [...]
Emigration Threatens Armenia: Libaridian’s Appeal
The following unabridged essay was written by Dr. Jirair Libaridian, who holds the Alex Manoogian Chair in Modern Armenian History at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Libaridian previously served as an adviser to former President of Armenia, Levon Ter-Petrossian and First Deputry Minister of Foreign Affairs. See a previous interview with Libaridian about the [...]
In Armenia, a Country Wide Water Fight
Text by Liana Aghajanian, photos © K. Shamlian As they have for thousands of years, Armenians gathered on a hot summer day to partake in a festival with pagan-era roots where people of all ages have free reign to drench strangers in water, at least for a whole 24 hours anyway. [...]
