Armenian women featured in January issue of Marie Claire France

Marie Claire France has published an article about Armenian women. About 6 pages were devoted to our compatriots, who personify resistance in these difficult times for Armenia.

Journalism, law, culture, business, culinary arts, and the art of survival are all areas that six Armenian women are actively contributing to. Their projects, as well as their occupations, have a direct impact on the lives of compatriots from Artsakh.

The January issue featured Siranush Sargsyan, a journalist from Artsakh, whose video went viral on social media in the early days of the Azerbaijani “anti-terrorist operation”; Shoushan Keshishian, a founder of the coworking space HubArtsakh; Alin Kamakian, a Lebanese chef of Armenian descent and founder of the Mayrig restaurant in Beirut; Anoush Baghdassarian, a founder of the Rerooted project, which is engaged in archiving testimonies; Nairi Khatchadourian, an art curator and founder of AHA Collective; and Ashkhen Vardanyan, a self-defense instructor at VOMA center.
