What makes you Armenian? That's the question we tackle with Peter Telian, founder of Alter Coffee and Books, who joins us from Armenia. We discuss the country's recent changes and explore the multifaceted nature of Armenian identity. Is it about genetics or upbringing? A defining feature or a personal choice? The language itself—Eastern or Western? Peter brings a fascinating perspective, having spent a decade living in Armenia with his Armenian family despite being genetically 1/8th Armenian and originally from California.
