‘Hummus Kimchi’ is a small restaurant in downtown Yerevan, where young people from Russia, Ukraine, Armenia, Belarus and Crimea work.

‘Hummus Kimchi’ is a place of self-expression and co-existence in a foreign milieu and a starting point for many. Having no knowledge what will come tomorrow, whether or not they will go back, everyone here wants one thing – an end to war.
