Our goals for starting YARP

To inform people about Armenia –  People usually compare Armenia to US or other countries. Armenia is different, and YARP will tell you how different it is. We want to give more information to people about life in Armenia.  We hope to explain as to why there are more Armenians abroad than in Armenia. We want to tell about the Armenian culture. In our opinion, Armenian dancing is very elegant; the girls and women all dance synchronized in dresses with fancy patterns on them. The men sometimes dance with swords, or stand on top of each other’s shoulders and dance in a circle.

To attract readers from around the world – from Armenia, the US, or even from Africa, but not in Antarctica (no penguins but perhaps yes to explorers).

To encourage people to come to Armenia – We hope that more people come to the protests in Yerevan and to Armenia in general: if there are more people in Armenia, then Armenia has a chance of being populous. This means that there will be more people to help clean Armenia. Then Armenia will have a chance of being the wonderful place people want it to be.

To tell about the people in Armenia – people should now about Armenians because there are not many of them.  Armenia is nice, so if we do not want it to fall apart, we have to make the population grow.
