From Marshrutkas to Buses: How Public Transportation in Armenia Has Evolved

If you visited Armenia back in the early 2000s, you’ll definitely remember what the public transportation looked like: Those nostalgic “Gazelles” with doors that slammed like guillotines, waiting for what seemed like an eternity for the right one to pass by, squeezing your eyes to read those cards with the numbers and destinations… And who could forget the ritual of paying the drivers? Sometimes you had to pass coins forward through several rows of strangers.

“Everyone Who Lives in Armenia Is Lucky”: Hasmik Tsghunyan

Despite moving to another country at an early age, Hasmik Tsghunyan always maintained a strong connection with her homeland. She left Echmiadzin for Grenoble, France, at the age of 4, but from the age of 6 she returned to Armenia every year and attended Armenian language and dance classes in France. Her parents had a clear position: they were Armenian, and their children had to know their mother tongue and remain connected to their homeland. That connection grew stronger over the years, which is why Hasmik transferred from the Faculty of Finance to the Faculty of International Relations, hoping that her future profession would also become a bridge between Armenia and France.

Love Through Discovery: The Story of Musician Vigen Hovsepyan

I first met the hero of today’s story in 2014 in Moscow at the “From Sea to Sea” music festival. Vigen had come from Barcelona to take part in the festival with his band, while I had come from Rostov-on-Don to treat my ears to some quality music. In 2015, we both moved to Yerevan and finally met in person at a concert in Dilijan. Vigen Hovsepyan was born in the Armenian SSR and grew up during difficult years for our generation — war, the collapse of the Soviet Union, and unemployment. In the 2000s, his family left for Spain in search of a better life: “Back then, almost everyone in Armenia dreamed of leaving. First my father left, and then my mother and I joined him. I was happy to leave; at the time, I didn’t understand what a homeland really meant. We weren’t taught to love it, either at school or within our community. We had no reason to love our homeland; we weren’t given the opportunity to truly discover it, because in order to love something, you first need to know it. We didn’t understand where we were living…”

Chasing a Dream: Inesa Rubinyan-Nersisyan

“I will only be happy when I return to Armenia.” These are the words Inesa Rubinyan-Nersisyan wrote in her diary after leaving Armenia for Sweden and finding herself surrounded by customs and ways of life that felt completely unfamiliar to her. Inesa was born in Metsamor, spent her childhood in Yerevan, and at the age of 13 left to grow up in Europe. The need to quickly learn a new language and adapt to a new city “forced” her to accept reality and begin fighting for her place in the world.

Repats Without Restraints - A Talk with Aram Khachadourian

Music has shaped every chapter of lifeguard-turned-classical singer Aram Khatchadourian's life. Born in Aleppo, Syria, he discovered his passion for music as a child, first through piano and later through classical singing. His talent earned him international recognition early on, before his journey eventually led him to Armenia. Today, Aram is a baritone, a graduate of the Yerevan Komitas State Conservatory, and a member of the Armenian State National Academic Choir named after Hovhannes Chekijian. From performing the role of King Afrasyab in Rustam and Sohrab to bringing Figaro to life on stage, he continues to build a career while remaining deeply connected to Armenian musical heritage.
