Robert Artinian is a private music teacher in metropolitan Detroit with an academic background in the history of religion, philology and linguistic philosophy. Over the past decade, he has developed a keen interest in genocide studies and Armenian migration after 1909, and is currently working to locate his family’s story in this wider historical landscape.
