i just finished an interview for the land and culture, my alma mater. one of the questions hit me hard. my answer is kinda cheesy... but here it is in all its glory.


Finally, what message would you like to convey to the LCO members about Armenia’s future?

Five steps forward, two steps back… we are getting there. I see the future of Armenia as a huge jigsaw puzzle with 8 million pieces. Each Armenian (either living here or in the Diaspora)… has one little jigsaw puzzle piece in their heart. One chooses to live here, really live here, by being a good decent person… bringing their piece to the puzzle… one chooses to donate time, efforts and money… bringing another piece to the puzzle… one lobbies in a foreign country for Armenian issues, snap another piece while another still searches for the puzzle piece within them. This is why LCO is amazing… it brings this puzzle piece right to the surface… and once you love Armenia whole-heartedly—your piece is permanently placed and eventually brings those close to you to the puzzle as well… I know we will finish this jigsaw puzzle… an amazing jigsaw puzzle of MOUNT ARARAT.
