Hi,

 I don't have any news or info to add about Molokans in Armenia but I've just returned from Fioletovo and although didn't get many photos taken because of the weather but also, because most of the villagers did not want their photos taken, I thought I'd send them on. You're free to use them for educational and not-for-profit purposes.

[next replies:]  ".....Sunday was the first time I visited a Molokan village in Armenia although of course, I knew them as one of Armenia's national minorities. Anyway, I enjoyed my visit despite how difficult it was to photograph most of them. Incidentally, I was sent there with a journalist who will write a story to go with the photos. ...." and "...When an English translation of the article is ready by the journalist I was working with, I'll send it on. The article is for HETQ Online: http://www.hetq.am ..."




Cheers,

Onnik Krikorian

Molokans in Armenia:
Although largely considered monoethnic,
small groups of ethnic minorities nevertheless add some color
to life in the Republic. One of Armenia's most interesting ethnic
groups are the Molokans. An article and photographs from
Fioletovo will be published by HETQ at a later date.
