Syrian Armenian’s work wasn’t appreciated
Syrian Armenian entrepreneurs today have been presenting their works. The main problem of participants of “Spirit of Syrian Armenian culture in Yerevan” remains finding jobs in the homeland.
“I work by orders. I offered my works to several shops, and I was told that I need a license,” says Maral Dolmajyan.
Silversmith Vigen Melkonyan adds, “We tried to work, but we weren’t appreciated properly. We have 15-20 years’ experience, but they consider themselves to be professors and don’t appreciate our work.”
Zarmine Minasyan has settled in Armenia for already three years. It took one year for consumers to choose her Ishli Kufta (stuffed meat balls), which recipe differs from the local, “Our Ishli Kufta smells spice. We also have other types, it is a noble dish.”
New Year’s spirit could also be felt in Syrian Armenians’ exhibition. Nazaret Haroyan, who felt the horror of war, does not complain even if there are some social problems. He has decided for sure that he won’t return to Syria, where he had a big house and a shop. He has recently bought a house in the homeland, too.
