      <image:caption>Varsenik Vartanyan, 23, is giddy about her Masters degree in Teaching Turkish as a Foreign Language. As an Armenian in Georgia, speaking all of 5 languages, Ms. Vartanyan plans to study in Bursa, outside of Istanbul. Though she admits that her fondness for learning Turkish is unusual in the context of the generational strife between both nations, Turkey has not acknowledged the existence of the Armenian genocide, she remains excited about her role as an impromptu cultural mediator.  Ms. Vartanyan is committed to returning to her home region as an educator, hoping to teach both English and Turkish. Though most of her family lives in Russia, Ms.Vartanyan asserts that her homeland is Georgia while her historical roots are in Yerevan. Ms. Vartanyan believes that the diaspora of her family across the region is what allows her to remain open minded to languages and opportunities that exist in different places and countries.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Alisa Gimishyan, 37, met her husband Giorgi Beridze, also 37, when he was looking for a local English teacher. A graduate from the English faculty, Ms. Gimishyan spent nearly a decade working for World Vision, a humanitarian NGO. The two began dating privately, and the pandemic provided a cloak of secrecy, they are from two different nationalities after all. Ms. Gimishyan explains that today the community in Akhaltsikhe is more accepting of mixed couples than a decade ago. “I realized that it is more important to meet a good person and not just a nation.” Akhlatsike, a mixed city of Georgians and Armenians, offered Ms. Gimishyan exposure to diversity. Though neither herself or her husband claim they suffered from societal pressures to marry within the same ethnic group, Ms. Gimishyan was taught to be devoted to her home nation, Armenia. Today, one of their central challenges in maintaining a dual identity for their toddler twins, is teaching them Armenian.</image:caption>
