As I heard from my grand mother …
Dikrangerd people have happy nature..
and like to enjoy life after hard work …
and the two sisters are an example …
Thanks Vartabedian…for reminding us about dikranagerd girls …
The best combination…to have happy life together as my grandmother Zaruhi use to say…
“Dikranagerd girls and Mardin boys…”
Dikranagerd girls are creative “henaroon yen”
and Mardin boys are real gentlemen…
Dear Hekimian sisters.
I was adopted in 1954 in Beirut, Lebanon, by a lovely lady from Dikranagerd of Boyadjian family, the daughter of Artin Boyadjian. All her family were fully massacred in Dikranagerd and she came to Aleppo where she met my adoptive father, Khachig, from Erzeroum, got married and established in Beirut where I was adopted as there sole son and my lovely parents. When reading about you, I recalled my lovely mom Zevart, who passed away in 1980 in Beirut. I love you dear sisters and keep your smiles always on ur faces.
God be with you all.

What a lovely and heart warming article. It ended too abruptly. I could have read a thousand more pages about “The Two sisters of Diyarbekir”

What a great story and wonderful picture.
Felt I was there at the dance.
They both would be very proud of you.
