I would love to be able to go and live there, it sounds like a dream come true life. He sounds like a perfect Armenian which we need more of to return back to our homeland. I admire his courage, will power and his, gentle nature
Thank you, Mr. Bohjalian, for such a moving and thoughtful piece. Both my paternal grandparents and maternal grandparents were immigrants from Greece in the early twentieth century, and all four were good citizens of their adopted nation, in this case the United States of America. I hate to think what life would have been like for them then if they had been thought of as “terrorists”.
Does he need a medical assistant, because I would be willing to move and live and die there. It is a hidden paradise, the kind that the westerners would pay a fortune to retreat to. When I read this article I thought to myself I am the women version of this man, bar different places and different events. Since my bad experiences I have always wanted to move and, live in Armenia, but the only difference is it is easier for a man than a women to take that step.
I want to sell my house and move to my beloved homeland that I have yearned for, during my life time when I was growing up abroad.I remember when any one gave us anything which was from Armenia even a rapping from a chocolate bar, it either went in a draw with our valuables for safe keeping or on my mothers precious mantel peace. I can fully identify with Dr. Haig Khatchadourian.
