Personal Stories19.01.2026“Jazz has the power to transcend borders, foster dialogue, and ignite joy and hope”: these words, spoken by American jazz pianist and composer, 14-time Grammy Award winner, and UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador Herbie Hancock, incredibly accurately describe the story of my new hero. Jazz double bassist Mikhail Fominykh, like many others, was forced to leave Russia. He had to overcome both territorial and cultural boundaries on his way to a place that later became his new home. Jazz became the foundation upon which strong dialogue with new people was built and hope for joyful days ahead was sown.

Personal Stories22.12.2025Fighting 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.

Personal Stories21.07.2025Growing 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.
