Tim Straight in Armenia: 25 years

CivilNet spoke with longtime friend Timothy Straight, the Honorary Consul of Norway and Finland and a knighted figure who has called Armenia home for 25 years.  Tim shares stories from Shamshadin, drawn from his time hosting CivilNet’s beloved series Straight to the Village, where each episode took him on a journey to discover the lesser-known reaches of Armenia, uncovering the socioeconomic situation on the grounds. He also explains the unique honor of being knighted by both Norway and Finland and details his new ventures, which include the Battered Bear Project for women displaced from Artsakh and ArmWool, an initiative using blockchain technology to track the value chain of Armenian wool.
