About Me

Otar
I enjoy writing about many topics, but what you will find most of here is biographies and stories about experiences I have had. I like writing about people who have made a positive impact on Armenia and Armenian communities in the Diaspora. I also like to write about my personal struggle with my Armenian identity and my American upbringing. My experiences and interests will be shared in this blog.
