One year ago, over 100,000 of our Artsakhtsi brothers and sisters were uprooted from the lives they had built, leaving behind their homes with only what they could carry and the hope of one day returning.
To shed light on the struggles of the Artsakhtsi displaced, we’ve partnered with National Public Radio (NPR) to share their powerful stories with the world.
In a recent feature on Here and Now, you'll hear from Gohar Gyurjyan, a social worker trained through our Social Workers for Artsakh Project; Edik Mnatsakanyan, whose family found solace in a newly purchased home from FAR while he seized the chance to start anew with a business; physician Irina Saghyan; and a journalist Siranush Sarsgyan. Each of them shares personal stories of their forced migration and reflects on its lasting impact one year later.
At FAR, we believe it is vital that these voices are finally heard, and we are thankful to NPR for amplifying their stories on such a significant platform. With an estimated 5 million weekly listeners across over 450 stations, Here and Now is one of the most popular news podcasts on Apple and Spotify.
Join us in listening to their stories and understanding their journey.
