Julieta Puppo is a student of mine who started by taking a course on Armenian history at the School of Oriental Studies of the Universidad del Salvador, in Buenos Aires, in the late 90s and ended by learning the language and becoming a teacher of Armenian history and culture, of all places, at the school where I pursued my elementary and secondary studies. She traveled to Armenia in July 2008 and participated in the Youth Forum of Hamazkayin.
In an interview held afterwards ("Armenia," October 2, 2008), Vera Voskanyan wrote: "She is not Armenian. However, she knows Armenian history in depth. She has researched each corner of it. Julieta Puppo is 33. She has a B.A. in Oriental Studies. She currently works at the Khrimian School as a teacher of Armenian history and culture. This year, she traveled to Armenia to get to know the land she had studied so much. She wrote her thesis about the Armenian people, focusing on its literature and especially the poet Charents, whom, she said, she deeply admires." She also deserves to be known a little better. Belatedly, here are the main excerpts of that interview in English translation:
