Armenian American Filmmaker Adam Adamyan

While remnants of Armenia’s material past remain, its heritage has been steadily erased over time. This process does not occur by chance but as part of an elaborate century-long plan designed to deprive descendants from land, legacy and memories connected to their ancestral communities.

Colleagues working in Eastern Turkey have revealed how any discussion about Armenian ceramic ware would cause immediate controversy with local officials.

Early Life and Education

The Armenian Educational Foundation collaborated with UCLA to host this conference, which saw close to 400 participants attending.

Archaeology as an academic discipline dedicated to collaboration has an ethical and equitable responsibility toward engaging descendant communities in ethical and equitable representation of history. Although engagement with such groups has become essential in approach that values historical memory, archaeological mappings of eastern Turkey remain focused on creating an image of the Highlands free from unpleasant memories from history.

This unseeing was part of a century-long project of dispossession that severed descendant communities living abroad from their land, legacy and heritage – in turn serving to justify Turkey’s denial of genocide perpetrated against Armenians during 1915. Archaeology played an active role in this denial campaign.

Armenia may not be at the top of every traveller’s bucket list, but it should definitely be on it! Home to several UNESCO World Heritage sites and world-famous brandy distilleries as well as unspoiled nature, it offers something for everyone with affordable travel costs and not nearly as many tourists than other popular European locations. Plus it’s great place for tasting local cuisine (pomegranates are delicious! Don’t leave without sampling some authentic Armenian bread as well).
