The star of “Women’s standup” revealed the reason for the family’s move from Armenia to Russia

Famous stand-up comedian Karina Meyhanajyan, who performs in the show “Women’s stand-up” on TNT, spoke about the circumstances of her family’s move from Armenia to Russia in the 1990s. The artist shared details in an interview with blogger Karen Adamyan. The interview was published on the VK Video platform.

According to the humorist, the decision to leave the homeland was due to the difficult living conditions in Armenia. At that time, the republic faced a serious energy crisis, due to which the population was experiencing shortages of electricity, gas and other resources necessary for daily life.

Meyhanajyan said that her father decided to go to Russia first. Having settled in a new place, the man arranged the relocation of other relatives. Thus, the family was able to start a new life away from the economic and domestic difficulties faced at home.

At the same time, the actress admitted that she maintained a strong emotional connection with Armenia. She now regards both countries as natives and does not want to choose between them. Meyhanajyan stressed that Moscow and Yerevan occupy an equally important place in her heart, despite the significant differences between the cities.

The famous humorist told about the victims of the Armenian genocide among her relatives.

Russian citizens provided 40% of the tourist flow to Armenia in 2026.
