10.03.2026
What model could allow an artistic organization to remain financially stable through commercial activities while integrating artistic objects into everyday life? The answer - and later the result of its practical implementation - became the OCHRE project by repatriate Anush Zeynalyan.
Anush is a museologist by education. She was born and spent most of her life in Moscow, worked in the field of contemporary art on international projects, engaged in fundraising, and immediately before relocating headed the development department of the National Centre for Contemporary Arts. Anush moved to Armenia to develop a foundation supporting contemporary artists, and now works on developing the creative enterprise OCHRE.

25.02.2026
If you’re moving to Armenia or planning a longer stay, one of the first practical questions comes up as soon as you land: where should you exchange money – and how much do you actually need right away?
Even if you have a bank card, having a small amount of Armenian drams in cash on your first day can be useful – for transportation, small purchases, or unexpected expenses.
Below is a clear, practical guide to help you avoid overpaying during your first hours in the country.
What Currency Should You Bring to Armenia?

23.02.2026
I first met Shushanik (last name withheld at her request) at the Old Tatev guesthouse. We struck up a conversation during breakfast with the rest of the guests, and it turned out she wasn’t that far from home. “I grew up in Tatev and Goris, but my parents grew up in Tandzatap. You can actually see it from the monastery.”
Tandzatap is a very small village located in the Tatev municipality that houses a little over 100 people. When you walk through its narrow pathways, it feels like any other small Armenian village, a place that feels more remembered than maintained.

11.02.2026
As mentioned in the first part of this in-depth interview, Ara delved into a lot of nuances when answering the questions. But then again, that’s what made things interesting. I just couldn’t bear leaving anything out and I suggested that we split the entire thing into two parts. Luckily for me, Ara agreed. And without further adieu, here’s part 2 of getting candid with Ara Yeramian!

10.02.2026
This guide and its series of articles are based on the Employment Bootcamp held at Repat Armenia on December 2025, as well as materials prepared by Mary Grigoryan, Partner at MB Legal (labor, migration, corporate, and business law), and Alina Danielyan, Junior Lawyer at MB Legal (labor, migration, and corporate law). It is intended for repats and foreign professionals in Armenia who need clarity instead of complicated legal jargon.

To me, Ara is one of those “Yes! I totally agree with you!” repats. We meet in person once in a blue moon, usually over burgers and beer, and end up talking about all things Armenia-related. And for the most part, we’re on the same page.
Ara already sat down with Repat Armenia for another article, but I decided to take a different approach this time around. I wanted this interview to be more candid, really bringing out Ara’s wit and wisdom that, if given the right platform, can amount to big changes. We ended up chatting over 14 questions, and Ara went into the smallest details. To make the whole interview easier to process, we’ve split it into two parts. Here’s the first part of getting candid with Ara Yeramian.
