I would not call the Armenian woman who was kidnapped by a Turkish soldier at age 10 a “bride”. This was rape.
Also, the author calls it a “union”.
Excuse me, a rape is now called a “union”?
A Turkish “soldier” raping an 10 year old Armenian girl is a “union”?
Turkey cannot escape it’s past.
While I understand this recent fascination with “hidden Armenians”, what about the descendants of Genocide survivors living of present-day Turkey. Aren’t they the true “hidden Armenians”. You won’t find them there anymore.
Thank you to both you and Asiya for revealing her part in history. We must always seek to peel back the skin of the past as best we can.
I agree whole heartedly. GOD bless her memory. Movses Movsesian, U.S.A.
Religion was changed, the Armenian language was forgotten, however, the Armenian soul resisted. These heroines deserve our respect and devotion, were years of suffering. How many can understand this kind of heroism.
