“I live in Vermont, a small town in the US, which is said to be like Artsakh. Yet, they are mistaken, since Artsakh is even more beautiful,” said Armenian-American writer Chris Bohjalyan during an event organized in his honor in Stepanavan.
“I live in Vermont, a small town in the US, which is said to be like Artsakh. Yet, they are mistaken, since Artsakh is even more beautiful,” said Armenian-American writer Chris Bohjalyan during an event organized in his honor in Stepanakert.
During his first visit to Artsakh, the famous writer greeted the people of Artsakh by using few Armenian words he knows, bowing before the pride the people of Artsakh have.
The author of famous bestsellers has told episodes from his life and sincerely shared his impressions with the fans. The roads in Artsakh are much better as compared to those of the town he comes from, which makes him feel at home. However, this was far not the only thing that inspired him.
Artsakh President Bako Sahakyan received the famous writer. The President greeted Chris, stating that his works are well - known among members of the society, and that the latter plays a crucial role in presenting Armenian history (Genocide in particular) to the entire world. Chirs Bohjalyan later met with the legislative and executive body representatives of Artsakh.
