Our Useless Diaspora, Our Future Armenia

February 3, 2021 Apo Sahagian 49

During the Artsakh War of 2020, my group of Diasporan friends and I rushed to the homeland to volunteer. On October 18, 2020, we visited Shushi and lit a candle in the shelled Ghazanchetsots cathedral. […]

The Myth of the “Western Armenian”

January 2, 2019 Apo Sahagian 23

What or who is a “Western Armenian”? Is it someone descended from genocide survivors who came from communities in the western areas of the Armenian Highlands? Or is it someone who speaks a dialect that […]

Op-Eds

Did We Dream a Bit too Much?

June 23, 2015 Apo Sahagian 11

Special for the Armenian Weekly  Did we dream a bit too much, a bit too soon? After 25 years of not achieving this dream, do we go on romanticizing something that is still not—and may […]

Sahagian: The Next 100 Years

May 29, 2015 Apo Sahagian 9

Special for the Armenian Weekly And where do we go now? The storm of the Armenian Genocide Centennial has passed. The nation came out in full force in Armenia and the Armenian Diaspora. We saw […]

Opinion

Sahagian: No, I Am Not Anatolian!

December 15, 2014 Apo Sahagian 41

With the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide approaching, Armenians have done well in preserving the identity of our lost land, at least mentally if not physically, since 1915. Yet, the one group that has […]

Sahagian: Save the ‘Tamada’!

October 10, 2014 Apo Sahagian 2

We in the diaspora are losing one of the most pleasurable elements of our culture: toast-mastering, or tamadayutyun in Armenian. This is ever more apparent when we gather for feasts and our glasses cling together […]

Opinion

Sahagian: Of Departure and Endurance in Armenia

September 5, 2014 Apo Sahagian 8

Special for the Armenian Weekly YEREVAN, Armenia—The nightly breeze in Yerevan hits me, blowing my long hair in different directions. My bald friend is indifferent, and begins to explain his frustrations with some of the […]

Youth

Sahagian: Your Armenians, Not Mine!

July 10, 2014 Apo Sahagian 4

“You’re Armenian? Well, I know you fought Azerbaijan and won,” a Scandinavian girl told me when we were first introduced a few years ago. I did not comprehend the value of those words back then. […]

Opinion

In a Useless Diaspora

February 13, 2014 Apo Sahagian 18

Special for The Armenian Weekly I’m starting to feel bad for my father, since he has to put up with my debates about Armenian socio-politics almost daily. As a traditional Diasporan Armenian, he did his […]

Opinion

We, the Bad Armenians

January 8, 2014 Apo Sahagian 65

“Are you even a good Armenian?” was one of the sharpest responses my previous article, “I Turned My Back on Armenia,” elicited. Other commentators took it upon themselves to be the gatekeepers of our nation and […]
