My experience with Birthright Armenia
Published: Saturday March 03, 2012

I didn't want to go back home because I wasn't getting the feeling that you do when you are ready to go back home from an extended holiday.

My family moved to Moscow in the 90's, when I was four years old, and since then I had only returned once, in 2006.
