    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.

    Life in Russia and Attempts to Move to Armenia After 2022, a large number of highly qualified specialists ended up in Armenia, including doctors, some of whom still live here and actively work in their field. We met one of them, Taron Sardaryan, at the “Chaika” clinic, which I learned about quite recently thanks to my friend, artist Karishok Dulyan, whose works decorate the clinic’s bright corridor.

    I believe the ingredients are in the Diaspora, but the kitchen is in Armenia. That’s where I wanted to be, right in the kitchen
