The Armenian Gay and Lesbian Association of New York is appalled by the terrorist firebombing of DIY bar on May 8 and the subsequent hate crimes against the establishment this past week. We also condemn the proliferation of verbal, Facebook, Youtube and other online attacks lodged against the queer community of Yerevan.

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. I had always wished to live in Armenia - to see the fall and winter and the snow-capped mountains. 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.
