Armenpress
ISTANBUL, MAY 5, ARMENPRESS: Turkish daily Milliyet said a Dogan
information news agency has found a house that belonged to Armenian
prime minister Andranik Margarian's grandfather. Margarian's
grandfather, Sedrak Margarian, had moved from Mush to Yerevan in
1916. Now this house is occupied by the family of Sulgun, who moved
here from a neighboring village of Ucer.
According to the daily, Armenian prime minister's wife and his
daughter visited Mush in 2004 summer together with a group of 50
Armenian tourists and stayed at Dap hotel. Walking to Dere quarter
of the town they found the prime minister's grandfather's house,
which is located near Gulu church. Margarian's wife called from the
sport his husband to say they found his grandfather's house.
Residents of the quarter say the house was first bought by Mustafa
Subas, later it was resold several times. Sulgun family members say
they did not know the house belonged to Armenian prime minister's
grandfather. Gulizar Sulgun says the ground floor of the house has
five rooms and the second floor three rooms. "Twenty-two members of
our family live in this house," she says, adding that last year a woman
and a girl visited them saying the house used to belong to them. After
examining the house the woman called his husband to tell about it. The
woman said only the roof and the exterior of the house changed.
In response to Turkish correspondents' question Margarian said"
My grandfathers were from Mush, like the grandfathers of half of
Armenian Cabinet ministers. My grandfather was a well-known man in
Mush. In 1997 when I was parliament member I went to Turkey, but I
was not allowed to enter Mush because of security reasons, but my
wife and my daughter traveled to Turkey in 2004 summer and located
my grandfather's house that was dilapidated, but not empty. As far
as I know the house is occupied now by a Kurdish family and there
are still people who remember my grandfather."
