Opinions14.05.2026Հայաստանն այսօր շարունակում է իրեն պահել որպես երկիր, որը դեռ չի կողմնորոշվել՝ պե՞տք են իրեն մարդիկ, թե՝ ոչ։ Գործողություններում, ոչ հռետորաբանությունում։ Ժողովրդագրության կարևորության մասին բարձրագոչ հայտարարությունների ետևում թաքնված է պրոակտիվ հայրենադարձային և ներգաղթային քաղաքականություն կառուցելու քաղաքական կամքի բացակայությունը։ Սա տեխնիկական ձախողում և ժամանակավոր անարդյունավետություն չէ։ Սա համակարգային դիրքորոշում է։

Personal Stories18.03.2026At the beginning of February, an exhibition by artist Anahit Demerchyan, who had lived away from her homeland for many years, took place at the Narekatsi Art Union. For a quarter of a century, creativity was the thread that connected Anahit’s longing heart to Armenia, and it also became the solid foundation for “building” a new life in her homeland.

Personal Stories11.07.2025For the next repatriate story, I traveled to Ijevan to meet Sofia Hakopyan, who settled there with her husband. Leaving the big city and reviving her ancestors' traditions had long been her dream: her interest in beekeeping grew after meeting her husband, who had hives and made honey in his lost homeland of Hadrut. Running Away from Kindergarten to Get to Yerevan Sofia left the big city twice: the first move was her parents' choice (something she now appreciates), and the second was her own strong wish. “I was born in Kyiv. My parents moved there from Yerevan. Returning to Armenia was always part of our lives. My dad said he didn’t start a business there because he knew we’d leave someday. He planned our move when we were still young to make adaptation easier. Before we moved, Dad visited family in Armenia every year, and I was lucky to go three times. I remember once running away from kindergarten in Kyiv. When the teachers caught me and asked where I was going, I said, ‘To Yerevan,’” Sofia begins.

Personal Stories16.05.20252 minVicken DerSarkissian moved to Armenia five years ago, having previously lived in Africa for several decades. But this isn’t the first time Vicken has lived in Armenia, after finishing high school in Beirut, he moved to Armenia to study engineering at university for six years. He then went into his family business, which worked with diamonds, prompting his move to Africa. “In the Armenian school in the diaspora in Lebanon they paid great attention to putting Armenia in our minds and hearts”, he says, “When we came home from school, our parents did the same. So Armenia has been part of our hearts and minds since childhood.” Vicken set his heart on going to university in Armenia, not just to study, but to learn about Armenia. “When you apply for a visa, you write the purpose of your visit”, he says, “Everybody writes tourism or holiday or something. I was so filled with idolizing Armenia... I wrote pilgrimage! ... I said that no one goes to his homeland as a tourist. I'm going to my homeland on a pilgrimage!”
