Thank you for taking the time to visit my web site. My name is Tamara Tsaturyan and I am a freelance Armenian translator based in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia.

I have spent a number of years working as a translator and interpreter for companies operating in aviation, export, banking and finance. My knowledge of the commercial sector, and how it operates within Armenia, allows me to provide linguistic solutions backed up by sound business experience. I am now able to offer written translation services via the internet to clients throughout the world.

Armenian is my native language, but I am also fluent in Russian and English and have some knowledge of Arabic. I hold a first class degree in International Relations and have travelled widely throughout Europe in order to gain a greater understanding of foreign cultures, so important when working in such a global industry.

Please find below a copy of my resume and if I can be of any assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.
