Samvel Topalyan: We don't know ourselves

Many of us got to know Western Armenia, our historical Ergir, when actor Samvel Topalyan undertook a big journey and showed in detail what we have lost. While watching it, some experienced the pain of loss, others felt the anger of revenge, and still others were filled with the power to work, create, and educate themselves. Today, after the war, we look at that journey from a different perspective, but our soul continues to yearn for the Home, perhaps also through art.

Anais Sardaryan. You have brought life with you

Another conversation about doing good, not giving up and living with important values. The giant social work done by actress Anais Sardaryan in the hard days of 2020 was still fresh in our memory when the forced displacement of Artsakh residents began. Anais' new initiative has already reached more than 70,000 Artsakh citizens, not only in the form of material “help” but also as an important message: "You are not alone; we are one, and we love each other, Armenians."

Nazeni Hovhannisyan. You either feel the power of the roots or you don't...

This conversation was filmed one day before the gruesome and sad events of the depopulation of Artsakh. We were nervous. Nazeni Hovhannisyan kept returning to Artsakh in her words. Perhaps it was not us who felt it, but our blood, the power of the roots that you either have or you don't. It is an important and topical conversation. Enjoy your watching!

Artur Ghukasyan. We Move Forward Looking Back

There is an Armenian maxim whose literal translation reads:"The head of the doer of good is holey.” But it turns out not to be true. We talk with producer Artur Ghukasyan about the fact that virtue and piety can be the basis of our success. It is doing good that saves us from despair and leads us to victory.
