The Big Picture: Armenia, in Faces and Stories
Armenian faces are hard to miss. The same is true with the greater population of the region known as the Caucasus. Their intricate lines tell stories like the rings on a tree branch, their eyes truly live up to the “windows of the soul” cliché. They live the struggles and successes of their lives with [...]
The Armenian Mother: Creature of Love, Habit and Cleanliness
I don’t think that I’m alone in saying that Armenian mothers are a unique bunch. They are caring, nurturing and love their children with all their hearts. Well, almost. Because, you see, there is one thing that the Armenian mother holds paramount above all else, and that is cleanliness. Whoever came up with the phrase, [...]
My Uncle Rafael Bringing Armenians to Hollywood
With their second biggest diaspora community living in tinsel town, it’s no surprise that Armenians have occasionally popped up in films (Sideways, Must Love Dogs) and made memorable appearances in television as well – the headline-grabbing Armenian Mob was previously featured in The Shield and Weeds, while Principle Skinner, aka Armin Tamzarian of the Simpsons [...]
The Epiphany: A Recount of Armenian Christmas
The culture, tradition and overall craziness involved in Christmas Eve, one of the most important nights of the year for Armenians is legendary. So when young filmmaker and NYU student Ella Hatamian decided she wanted to write and produce a fictional account of the feast, having her family star in the production was the obvious [...]

Last Friday afternoon, a quiet storm seemed to be brewing on social networks across Armenian Diaspora. One by one, a video featuring subject matter still to this day perceived as taboo in Armenian cultural and social spectrums kept popping up on Facebook, a site which now boasts more than 500 million active users. Armenian couple [...]
Home and Homeland: The Journey to Armenia
This is a first in the series called “Home and Homeland,” an exploration into the Armenian Diaspora’s connection (or sometimes lack thereof) with Armenia, repatriation, identity, culture and more. What makes someone leave home, walk away from his or her life, friends, family, work, school and become a traveler? Seven months ago, fresh out of [...]
The Incense and Me: An Armenian (Grand)father’s Day Tribute
Holidays, except for the trifecta of Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas, aren’t major occasions in my family. There are no 4th of July bbq-drenched celebrations, no Valentine’s Day exchanging of gifts and no Memorial Day outings to monuments or events to honor the war dead, even Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are low key get-togethers, if [...]
Watch This: Taste of the World Festival Features Armenia
With such a large Armenian population, having just one Armenian Festival in Los Angeles is impossible. In true Armenian fashion, it was Pasadena’s turn to play host to a two-day cultural event that featured arts, crafts, culture and food. Hosted by DJ, author and World Music expert Tom Schnabel of popular independent radio station KCRW [...]
Appreciating Odds and Ends in Armenian Culture
There long has been a phenomenon that not just myself, but countless other Armenians have taken note of, those ubiquitous floral patterned dresses that older Armenian women seem to wear. Whether they are at the store, at a church bazaar, a kef or anywhere else, they wear these things all the time! I have a [...]
