Five unforgettable years
A little over five years ago, I entered the Hairenik building in Watertown, Massachusetts, with an open and eager heart. It was my first day in the iconic building as the editor of The Armenian Weekly, and I felt like the young journalist straight out of college that I was more than 35 years earlier.
My first day was even more exciting and memorable than I had anticipated. October 29, 2019 was the day the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Armenian Genocide resolution, an outcome so many Armenian Americans had been awaiting following decades of advocacy. What an auspicious beginning to my time with a newspaper that has been a part of my life since I was a child.

Thank you for the countless hours you spent ensuring that we received the most current and accurate news from the 2020 war through the Artsakh Genocide. The strength it took to hold your own grief back while editing, writing and publishing the news is astounding and greatly appreciated.

We thank you a “bunch” for “making it better than when you found it”–as Mal Varadian would say.
We wish you and your family super health…a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year filled with all good stuff.
Special People Leave Big Shoes To Fill. Job Well Done Paulie.
Congratulations on a job well done. No one takes these types of jobs to get wealthy. But then again, it depends on how one defines wealth. This is the kind of job that requires 24-hour a day attention. So much has transpired over these past 5 years. This is still a top shelf operation. The news was always current, even if it wasn’t always good news.
Enjoy your retirement.
Job well done. Another saying from Unger Mal.
Sireli Ungerouhi Pauline,
Thank you so much for all that you have contributed to The Armenian Weekly! Wishing you endless success!
As many have correctly said, Pauline, your tenure was never
simply a job but rather a labor of love and service to our
beloved Armenian nation. Thank you for your service and wishing you only the best in your next chapter.
Job well done, Pauline. Thank you for printing my “Boregs, Biscuits and Me” first person, 4 part series in October of 2021. It encouraged me to complete a memoir of my 18 years in NC, “Confessions of an Adopted Tarheal.” Yes, Armenian woman can do anything. You rock!
Congrats, Pauline, on wrapping up an amazing five years at the Weekly! I know how tough and rewarding that role can be, and you handled it with so much heart and dedication. Hats off to you for everything you accomplished! I wish you all the best in whatever comes next–I’m sure it’ll be just as impactful.
