Turcotte
● Anna Astvatsaturian Turcotte
Hello
and welcome to the Armenian News Network, Groong.
This episode was recorded on Wednesday, August 10, 2022.
Today in this Conversations on Groong episode, our guest is:
|
Anna Astvatsaturian
Turcotte, who is an
Armenian-American author, city counselor, human rights advocate, and also a
refugee from her original city of Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, which her
family fled, as violence mounted against Armenians. |

Welcome
Anna!
● Please introduce yourself to our audience.
● Tell us more about your foundation Astvatsaturian.org
● You were in Artsakh recently. Tell us about your
impressions.
Berdzor is on the top of our minds. As you know, the
residents of the villages were given until Aug. 25 to vacate.
● What is your take on this situation?
● What is Aliyev’s goal? Pashinyan’s?
Perhaps for the
first time you have not a foreign power, but Armenian leaders (in this case
named Hayk Khanumyan and Arayik
Harutyunyan) who are telling residents of Berdzor
& Aghavno to leave.
You already are a
published author. Your book “Nowhere: A Story of Exile” is highly rated on
Amazon. Now, you have a new book coming out.
● Can you tell us more about it?
● What inspired you to write it?
That
concludes this Conversations On Groong episode.
