Armen Mkhoyan lives in Yerevan and is a professional sand artist. He says there are two ways to create a sand picture: by pouring sand on a white surface or by clearing up a surface that is already covered with sand.
“A sand drawing has a strong soothing effect. When I draw, I experience the same sensations as one does when playing with hot sand on the seashore.”
With so much misinformation cavalierly and cynically tossed around, it is vitally important that the societies in the Caucasus benefit from journalism that is fact-checked and unbiased, balanced and sensitive. JAMnews has been giving them just that. A full-fledged newsroom presence in almost every part of the region – committed teams of editors and reporters, SMM managers and translators, experts and citizen contributors – has allowed it to always stay on top of national breaking news stories, while also keeping an eye on the not so obvious, but none the less important, issues and trends that are overlooked by others. Now, we all need your support if we are to keep the ball of what we do rolling. Every contribution you make, however small, means we can continue. Thank you
