The cover of `Nowhere'
In 1988, Astvatsaturian Turcotte was a 10-year-old girl living in the
seaside city of Baku, in the Soviet Republic of Azerbaijan. Like any other
young girl, she had childhood aspirations, crushes, and dreams. That entire
life was swept away as the majority Muslim Azeri population drove the
minority Christian Armenians out of the country using terror and violence.
Her family was forced to flee to Armenia, a neighboring republic still
reeling from the massive earthquake and unprepared for the hundreds of
thousands of refugees fleeing Azeri-orchestrated pogroms. Once there, she
found herself an outsider - a nation-less girl surviving in an unheated
basement and facing discrimination again, this time by her own people.
*Nowhere, a Story of Exile* is a riveting, heart-wrenching story told
through a personal medium - Astvatsaturian Turcotte's diary entries that
documented the organized terror in Baku, her life as a refugee, and her
struggle to find herself, all against the backdrop of the collapse of the
Soviet Union. The author gives a voice to the horrific tragedy little
reported in the West, to the Armenian population of Azerbaijan, and to the
child victims of ethnic cleansing everywhere.
Anna Astvatsaturian Turcotte came to the U.S. as an Armenian refugee from
Baku in 1992, and became a U.S. citizen in 1997. She now holds a law degree
and was one of the first Americans to clerk for the International Criminal
Court in The Hague, Netherlands, after observing its creation at the United
Nations. She is married and has two children.
