http://www.persons.am/en/
The influence of Armenians around the world might seem surprising considering the size of the country. The Armenian people have had the ability to thrive in any society that they have adopted and have been able to add their unique threads to the tapestries of many different nations.
The website Persons.am makes it easy to see just how much of an impact Armenians have around the world. Persons.am provides a compilation of “Armenia’s famous people,” ranging from different categories such as scientists, musicians, artists, clergy, writers, and many more.
The site conveniently lists the different categories so that the visitor is able to easily find Armenian contributors in different fields. One such category is labeled “Diaspora,” which highlights the influence of Armenians living abroad, such as William Saroyan and Charles Aznavour.
The site provides a detailed biography for each of the Armenians on the list, as well as photos and links for more information. Visitors to the site are also able to rate the Armenians whose achievements they most admire.
The Armenian nation may be small, but its people have always been great contributors to the societies in which they dwell. Persons.am proves to be a convenient source for introducing visitors to famous Armenians and their many contributions around the world.
