In recent years, I've been venturing into projects that hold personal significance, even if they take me beyond my comfort zone. Beyond my usual focus on economics and research, I've recently completed writing a book. It is a touching, non-fiction narrative that immerses readers in the turbulent backdrop of the first Nagorno-Karabakh War between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The story revolves around me, a six-year-old girl, and my family as we navigate the challenges of daily life in Armenia's Syunik province during the 1990s. The book is about the enduring power of love, and the indomitable spirit of humanity that shines through even in the darkest of times.

I've been contemplating the creation of an educational platform since 2021. After the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War, I was asked to develop and donate lectures to those eager to learn. While I fulfilled those requests, I never felt truly satisfied with offering just one or two lectures on a topic, hoping for a deep understanding from the audience. The World and Me Project is designed to produce fact-based, informative, and engaging articles, videos, and various content types for both English-speaking and Armenian-speaking audiences. Its goal is to disseminate information, prompt essential questions, and share knowledge in a more systematic manner.

For the past few years, I have been thinking about personal and national identity, nation branding, roots and cultural heritage.
So, I've taken a leap into an exciting venture--writing a series of historical novels (comprising 5-6 books) centered around the 4th-century Armenian Kingdom. This period captivates me due to its intrigues, the impact of right and wrong decisions, the interplay between personal and national interests, and the profound consequences of a series of self-serving actions that ultimately lead to the downfall of a kingdom.
