-Here is a brief description about this composition work “Where is Our Lje?”
- The Composition is based on two wedding song from the region Lje (Dikranagerd) in Western Armenia. However, this project based only on symbols representing the Armenian Genocide and culture in general, with a tiny glimpse into the original song’s theme.

- The songs are remembered by the Armenian genocide survivor Haji Hoseb Hamamjian (Born in Lje, Dikranagerd), and Tatios Baghdasarian (Born in Lje, Dikranagerd).

- All the Genocide survivors’ materials in the work are from my father’s Mihran Minassian’s personal collection of Armenian Genocide Survivor's interviews.

- All the photos within the work are from my father’s collection as well. Some of them have also never been published.
