Viktorya, originally from Yerevan in Armenia describes the concept behind the series:

“With this initiative, I would like to close a huge information gap, and I want the European audience to know more about Armenia and the EaP countries, our problems and developments. I want to create and disseminate transparent news and analysis. I also want to encourage young EaP journalists through this podcast to make their work accessible to an external audience, write in English about their own countries. If we tell what is happening in our countries, no one will do it instead of us.”
