Introducing Ms. Nona Kilgore

I was born in Armenia.

Armenia is located east of Turkey and north of Iran.

Armenia

Armenia was the first country to formally adopt Christianity – 4th Century AD.

Over many centuries, Armenia was part of several empires – Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Persian, and Ottoman.

In 1920, Armenia became part of the Soviet Union and remained in the Soviet Union until 1991.
