Dear Armine,
I just received the email with your translation of Ayinka. Have not read it yet, but I am so thrilled that you made the effort to translate it and give the opportunity to so many Armenians that can’t read Armenian to read one of the stories by one of my most favorite Armenian authors. Krikor Zohrab’s writing are so timeless, so real and beautifully written. I have read all of his writing growing up and they made such an impression on me and most of them are like it’s written for the present life. Thank You for bringing it to us.
Dear Lydia,
Thank you so much! I hope you will share your impressions after reading the story. I actually decided to get it published, thinking about people who would like to read Armenian authors but can’t read Armenian.
Excellent work. Keep up the good work.
Thank You for your encouragement!
