It had taken a long time before Alan visited Armenia for the first time in 2005. Since Alan was the grandson of a genocide survivor and involved in genocide studies, he had made multiple attempts to visit Armenia. After four unsuccessful attempts from the early 1960s to early 2000s, he finally visited Armenia for the first time in 2005. “That was a remarkable trip in terms of my expectations and experience,” says Alan about his first visit.
