Our Mission
To help Armenians from Armenia share their talents and creativity with
the rest of the world while allowing the rest of the world direct access
to all that Armenians from all around the world, including Armenia itself,
have to offer.
History
As far back as I can remember, I and every other first generation
Armenian-American in northern New Jersey within a 45 mile radius that I
knew, went to the same Armenian school. We studied all about a country
we couldn't visit, a history that read like a novel of legends, and a
language that nobody other than our parents, and their friends, spoke
with to us, and to each other.
Armenia was a place under Soviet rule and as far as we knew there
was no way in or out of the country. There was no way for us to
meet people from Armenia, or experience for ourselves all that
Armenia had to offer. I remember clipping and saving any articles
shown in the New York Times or elsewhere about Armenia or Armenians,
and trying in vain to teach my American classmates about a
place I had never seen or experienced for myself in person.
In 1991, the Soviet Union had broken up,
Armenia was in a war with neighboring Azerbaijan, and Turkey closed
it's border to Armenia. During this time, the internet had just
started forming its own legs and spreading to the colleges.
I remember being in school with no Armenians in my vicinity for
miles around, and getting on Armenian chat lines to meet Armenians
from all around the world and joining email lists about Armenia just
to get any kind of current information I could about our newly
independent country.

I remember being in school with no Armenians in my vicinity for miles around, and getting on Armenian
chat lines to meet Armenians from all around the world and joining email lists about Armenia just to
get any kind of current information I could about our newly independent country.
In 1994, the war with Azerbaijan came to a halt, and Armenia started its post war healing
process. Since then, I graduated college with an Engineering degree, moved to Framingham,
Massachusetts for work, and found myself an Armenian girl from Armenia, and got married. Through
all this time I had heard many interesting stories from friends, and wondrous tales from my wife,
who was born and raised in Armenia during those Soviet times. Any time someone gave me a picture of
Armenia or a souvenir from the country, I cherished it as I did the newspaper clippings about
Armenia I had saved as a child. I grew more and more restless and wanted to visit and experience
the country firsthand. In August of 2005, my wish finally came true. I made my maiden voyage to
Armenia and for the first time, saw, heard, and smelled for myself the country with all its history,
traditions and culture that I had only heard and read about my whole life.
When I came back to the US, I had brought back about 500 pictures and many hours of
video I had taken on my trip, and tons of souvenirs I had bought during my travels. I picked out
10 of my favorite pictures, blew them up, framed them, and showed them to family and friends along
with some of the jewelry we had brought back from the country. Then it hit me. Before I had gone to
Armenia, I had cherished those pictures and souvenirs that were given to me from friends who had
visited the country before me. After I came back they served as great keepsakes and reminders of
all the places we had gone to see. I started to wonder if other Armenians would also be interested
in the souvenirs and pictures I had brought back for all the same reasons. My wife and I started to
participate in a few local Armenian bazaars and set up tables with our pictures and jewelry. Since
then years have passed. We have sold literally hundreds of pictures, and have grown our stock of
souvenirs from Armenia to include all that you see on this website today and more. As this website
grows, our hope is that our variety of items will grow as well. Of course the best way to experience
all that a country and its people have to offer is to actually take the trip there and experience it
firsthand. In the meantime however, for those that can't go to Armenia right now for whatever reason,
we wanted a chance to bring Armenia to them, and that is indeed what this website is all about. To
show you all that modern day Armenia , and Armenians from all around the world, have to offer, all
in one very accessible location… ArmenianVendor.com

Press Releases and Articles
Bring home the fruits of the homeland – virtually
The Armenian Reporter
Eastern U.S. Edition
December 15, 2007:
Framingham, Mass. 7 – With several high-profile stories about
Armenia
and Armenians making headlines this year, the Internet has been buzzing with
information to help people understand and appreciate the unique Armenian
culture. For Baykar Dervishian, however, the Internet-age promises to
facilitate more direct connections with Armenia , by giving the world easy
access to Armenian music, decorative handicrafts – and even food. Dervishian is
the creator and proprietor of "ArmenianVendor.com." An Armenian-American,
he has set out to help his countrymen from the homeland share their talents and
creativity with the rest of the world, while giving the world direct access to
all that Armenians have to offer. "We started our venture by participating in
few local Armenian bazaars, and set up tables with our jewelry and pictures of Armenia.
A year later, we had sold hundreds of pictures and pieces of jewelry." Since
then their product listing has grown to items ranging from compact discs and
DVDS, to home decor, handmade Christmas ornaments, books, games for kids and
adults, apparel, concert promotions, and more. Dervishian insists that "visiting
Armenia is the best way to experience all that the country and its people have to offer.
However, for those who don’t have that opportunity,
ArmenianVendor.com
aims to bring Armenia to you." He embarked on his own maiden voyage to
Armenia in 2001, and for the first time, saw, heard, and tasted the country with all its
history, tradition and culture. Through his website, he hoped to capture the
realities of modern day Armenia and diasporan Armenian art in a single accessible location.
Dervishian is proud of what he calls the site's "cozy interface" which "feels
like you just walked into a far off middle eastern store." He now actively seeks out new
products to display, and says he's always open to new ideas and requests. Baykar invites people
to contact him anytime via e-mail at
baykar@armenianvendor.com
. In the meantime – and especially with Christmas around the corner – he tells
web-surfers to "kick back, log on, and get your shopping done. Armenia is just around
the corner."
For Immediate Release
New Virtual Armenian Store, ArmenianVendor.com Creates Competitive Market
For Diverse, Quality Ethnic Products
December 5, 2007:
Framingham, MA, December 05, 2007- Owner and creator of the site, an
Armenian-American, Mr. Baykar Dervishian initially set out to help Armenians from
Armenia share their talents and creativity in the West while allowing the rest of the
world direct access to the quality, hand crafted items the old-school, Armenian
artisans are famous for. Armenian Vendor presents products that are geared towards
our modern day lifestyles, all in a very Bauhaus fashion, putting form before
function.
The little nation of Armenia made some headlines in these last few months
on the political scene. And, although there are plenty of online sources to help one
understand more about the cultures of the Caucasus, ArmenianVendor.com allows
the consumer to absorb the remote culture through its music, heritage, decorative
handicrafts and food.
"We started our venture by participating in few local Armenian bazaars
and set up tables with our jewelry and pictures of Armenia. A year later, we had literally
sold hundreds of pictures & pieces of jewelry." Since then their product listing
has grown into items ranging from CDs, DVDs, ethnic home décor (including the Water
Pipes that have been popping up as the fashion accessory to bring
old-world charm into one's home), handmade Christmas ornaments, books, games for kids &
adults, apparel, concert promotions, and more. Dervishian points out that "visiting
Armenia is the best way to experience all that the country and its people have to offer.
However, for those who do not have that opportunity, ArmenianVendor.com brings Armenia to
them.
Dervishian embarked on his maiden voyage to Armenia in 2001 and for the
first time, saw, heard, and smelled for himself, the country with all its history,
traditions and culture that he had only heard and read about growing up in the United States.
