Ten Iraqi-Armenian families reside in Darbnik, a village eight kilometers from Yerevan. 90% of the village is comprised of refugees. The Iraq-Armenian families live in the former agricultural college that has been renovated by the United Nations. They have created a little Baghdad in their apartments furnished with photos and memorabilia from their former homes. They have also preserved their memories of Iraq. As in Iraq, they are caught in an identity crisis her in Darbnik – not fully Iraqi and not fully Armenian. As they say in Armenia, “a life between two rocks”.
