Repat Story22.12.2025Fighting Against Mine Exploitation as a Starting Point for Repatriation Having received an education and lived abroad for many years, Artush Yeghiazaryan, a native of Leninakan, one fine day in 2018 returned to his hometown—now Gyumri, formerly Leninakan—bringing with him solid professional experience. The decision to return home was not made immediately; moreover, it came only after nearly five years of active work in and for the homeland: “In 2012, like most Armenians who do not live in Armenia but live with Armenia in their hearts, I came across a Facebook post about a group of young people who were fighting against the opening of a mine in Teghut. This situation had a strong impact on me; I contacted them and offered my help. We became friends, and the story of the mine became the starting point on my path back home.”

Repat Story21.07.2025Growing up in Moscow, first visits to Armenia Kolya Stepanyan was born in Moscow. His parents moved there from Goris a few years before he was born. As a child, Kolya visited his grandparents in Goris a few times – those trips kept his connection to Armenia alive, even if it sometimes felt fragile. “When I was 15, I visited Armenia for the first time as a teen. That trip stuck with me. I felt something — maybe even love. Growing up in Russia was tough. Armenians and other minorities were treated like second or third-class citizens. Things have gotten a bit better, but not much. I always felt like an outsider, even though I had many friends in Moscow,” he recalls.

Repat Story12.06.2025Walking through Yerevan or driving around the city, you might notice a young man juggling – he looks like someone from a kind childhood story. That’s Ezequiel Guiragossian – a juggler, acrobat, and founder of Circo Fractal, who has now been living in Armenia for about a year. Born in Buenos Aires to an Armenian father and Italian mother, Ezequiel had never seriously considered coming to Armenia – until a conversation with his uncle changed everything.

Repat Story17.03.20252 minLiving in Russia with Armenian roots Elena Kurchavova inherited more than just her grandfather’s Armenian eyes – she also picked up his love for art. “My grandfather, Nerses Vartanovich Markosyan, was born in the village of Zargeran. I was only five when he passed away, so I didn’t really get to know him. But there are a few photos of us together. We granddaughters take after him, especially around the eyes. And I think I got his love of painting and color too – he used to copy artworks,” Elena says. Elena’s path has taken many turns – she has been a teacher, decorator, and trained restorer of oil paintings. She once worked at the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, and later shifted her focus to textile interior design and creative workshops for kids.
