Biography

 

Anna Astvatsaturian Turcotte is an Armenian refugee from Baku, Azerbaijan. After fleeing Baku, Anna and her family spent three difficult years in Armenia before coming to United States in 1992.   Her family settled in Wahpeton, North Dakota.

Anna has Bachelor of Arts degrees in English & Literature and Philosophy & Religion, along with a minor in Russian Language & Literature from the University of North Dakota. She received her Juris Doctor degree from the University of Maine School of Law in Portland, Maine. After graduating from Law school Anna was one of the first legal clerks at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands after observing the ICC’s creation at the United Nations.

 

In 2012 Anna published her book, titled “Nowhere, a Story of Exile,” which she wrote at the age of 14. The book is based on the childhood diaries she kept as a refugee from Baku, Azerbaijan.  

 

Armenia, Nagorno-Karabakh, International Criminal Court and human rights issues are her life long passions.  Anna always strives to reach out to the needs of the people of Armenia, Nagorno-Karabakh and the Armenian Diaspora. She is the President of the Maine Chapter of Society for Orphaned Armenian Relief.  Anna is committed to continuing to write and lecture on topics that are dear to her heart. She works in the financial risk and compliance division of a major international bank and lives in Portland, Maine with her husband John and their two children.
