Special to the Armenian Weekly

She wanted to meet all sorts of folks—wealthy, poor, young and old—who were trying to make a go of it with what was left from a fragmented life. I took her to Bourj Hammoud—Little Armenia—where many of them could be found, and to a restaurant serving the much-cherished Aleppo cuisine.

Thank you, Nigol! We felt a little like we were in the places you describe.
Nigol, you are a gifted and natural storyteller. You bring us along your journey effortlessly…..
Thank you, Nigol. God has put the Armenian nation to the test. Our faith, patience, and perseverance has been tested many times. And we are proof how well we passed the test. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Syrian people, and Syrian Armenians.
Nigol you captured stories of decades with one article! Great Job!

This is great writing….but heartbreaking that the suffering of brutal wars was every decade.
May I suggest creating a movie to show the war history of the 20th century and its impact on the Armenian people…based on true family histories.
