  1. Hey Nareg I’ve never met a more relatable Nareg in my life. I’m 15 and my Instagram name and bio literally states how to pronounce my name, and it includes “not egg” quickly. This has been like that for more than a month which is way before you posted this article so I don’t want you to think I changed it to that.
    If you’d like to see it for yourself check out not_egg_quickly on Instagram and direct message me so that I know you stopped by!

    • Hi Nareg,
      So glad to meet you! “Not egg quickly” is hilarious! I’ll definitely check it out.
      Best,
      Nareg

  2. Parev Nareg! My name Tvine so i feel you! It’s not easy when you need to present the history of the Armenian people every time you meet a new person. I am 34 years old and have yet to meet another Tvine older than I. (I know there are others out there, my cousin even named her daughter Tvine but she is younger than me) Having gone through similar experiences as you growing up I was sure I would name my kids john or James, but when the time came to chose a name for my boys I did not consult the list of the 100 most popular names websites. I am the proud mama of Varak, Shirak and……Nareg. Hope they have similar experiences as you and become accomplished and successful just like you will be! Great article! Keep being you!

    • Dear Tvine, Thank you so much for your comments! Your boys’ names are fantastic! I really am grateful to my parents for my awesome name. It has meaning and a connection to our rich history. Thanks again! Best, Nareg

  3. Nareg jan,

    In the´80s I visited Vaspurakan together with an Armenian friend from Berlin (Germany). We stood some days at Van, visited Varaka Vank and later came to Krikors village called Nareg. First we saw a big marble stone in a creek crossing the village. There were several crosses cut into the white stone. We couldn´t find any left parts of the originally very big monastery. Some Kurdish villagers came and started a conversation. One of the men told us to stay somewhat longer, so that he could show us something interesting. He went to his home and returned after some minutes. He showed us a large iron key. He declared that this key would be the only thing that remained of Narega Vank.

    Only the next day when we were already near to Mush we regretted that we forgot to ask the owner of the old key to sell it to us. It would have been a wonderful object to be offered to a Yerevan museum !

  4. Dear WR, That is such a great experience. I really hope I can visit historical Armenia one day. My family is from Adana and Caesaria. Sincerely, Nareg
