Nana Shakhnazaryan, a journalist interested in conflict studies, opens up about her very personal experiences in conversation with AI Director, Tatevik Ayvazyan. Escaping the pogroms in Baku left Nana’s family unable to settle in either Armenia or Moscow, and eventually ended up in New York. The pair discuss growing up Armenian in culturally diverse Brooklyn and Nana’s deep connection to Karabakh and Armenia, as well as the heartbreaking realities of discrimination both in Baku and Moscow, but also within Armenian communities.
Nana Shakhnazaryan is a researcher and writer working at the intersections of media literacy and conflict studies.
