  1. Whether it’s Greta Thunberg, David Hogg, or a number of others, young people are leading the way due to the older generation’s failure – or refusal – to do anything.

    1. I salute Mischa and Melody for sprearheading such a debate among our youth. Artsakh ‘s recognition and related issues to the 2020 war
      including human rights violation issues, such as the plight of prisoners and resettlement of refugees , as well as Foreign policy legislation to stop aid to Azerbaijan should be our main focus .

    1. Thank you for reading! To answer your question, I’m not too sure yet, however, I am interested in intellectual property and criminal law. I’m in my first year of college right now so that might change over the years but all types intrigue me in one way or another. I’m looking forward to learn about all of them. Thank you again!

  2. What an interesting article!
    Best of luck to Melody and Mischa, I see a bright future for you both.
