A conversation with Armine Sargsyan, who is from Armenia and Lithuania. Armine talks about her upbringing in independent Lithuania and in Cyprus, the development of her own cultural identity, and the importance of raising international awareness about the ongoing conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh; she recently organized a demonstration in Vilnius, while her husband is currently on the frontline in the Artsakh. The story of her mother’s emigration to Lithuania is intertwined with the conflicts of the 1990s, and we discuss the parallels between that time and the war that started on September 27th and is continuing to escalate.
