Anna, the Founder
Anna Kachikyan, the esteemed founder of The Armenian Report, has established herself as a prominent figure in the realms of television and journalism. With an illustrious career spanning nearly a decade, she made a significant impact as one of the original cast members of TMZ-on-TV, working under the guidance of Harvey Levin.
Throughout her journey, Anna's professional endeavors have encompassed various influential platforms.

At the forefront of this exciting medium, she captivated thousands of viewers with her engaging content and demonstrated a remarkable ability to connect with her audience.
However, it was during the transformative period of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's revolution sweeping Armenia in April 2018 that Anna's profound connection to her homeland became resoundingly evident. The Velvet Revolution served as a catalyst, awakening her to the power of combining her social media acumen and journalistic prowess to share the unfolding events with her dedicated followers. As the dawn of a New Armenia began to emerge, Anna birthed The Armenian Report, a platform designed to inform, empower, and unite.
Born in Yerevan and raised in Los Angeles, Anna's upbringing straddled two cultures, fostering a deep and abiding appreciation for her Armenian heritage.
