We're back! Armenia struggles through its first winter as an independent state, leading to one of the most destructive epidemics in Republican history and the first large-scale aid program conducted by the US as a result.

Meanwhile, Turkey, in the middle of the Turkish War of Independence, begins flooding Kurdish communities in Armenia with arms, inciting them to revolt.

For some reason parts 3 and 4 are locked for me but parts 1, 2, 5 and 6 are not…is it supposed to be like that?

Thanks for telling me. That was an error. It's fixed now

This comment is à propos of nothing. My best friend just sent me a postcard from Yerevan.

There’s this guy in my town who’s Turkish and has custom license plates that say ATT4TRK. I’m honestly surprised he hasn’t gotten his car keyed because there’s an Armenian church in this town too.

Great episode, sadly can't say the same about the horrible events of 1919. It looks like Kajaznuni managed to prevent the ultimate catastrophe with his diplomatic skills.

It would be really cool if there would be a show in Germany at some point, maybe in Hamburg, it is pretty easy to get there from Denmark and the entire north of Germany
