Alex Peltekian is a Dutchman with an extraordinary story to tell. He
was born 50 years ago as Alexander Luijten, but in 2000 took the
surname of his biological father, a French-Armenian army officer.
While looking into his roots, he also learned about the Armenian
people and their long history of repression and persecution,
including an horrific massacre by Turkish troops in 1915.
