AKNALICH, OCTOBER 21, ARMENPRESS: The Armenian Genocide, initiated
in the Ottoman Empire during the World War I in the beginning of the
previous century, is one of the biggest crimes against humanity.
Advancing the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide the new
project introduced by Armenpress news agency is dedicated to the story
of the eyewitnesses and survivors of the calamity to prove the world
one more time that our demand for the recognition of the Armenian
Genocide is fair and justified. This time the project is dedicated to
the story of Arshaluys Muradyan, the resident of Aknalich Village of
Etchmiadzin region, Ararat Marz. She was born in 1912. "Do you think
we came here willingly? The Turks attacked and massacred and we have
come here. Thanks God, we have survived", - the 102-year-old woman
starts her story with these words.
To save Arshaluys, her parents put her in a cart and covered with
grass.
The eyewitness remembers that many people used this "creative" method
to hide their children and save them from captivity. The family
reached the Eastern Armenia without losses. First they settled in
Alagyaz Village and then moved to Aknalich.
"The Turks threw forty youth to the barn and lit it up. Our Armenians
have seen quite cruel days from the Turks", - said Arshaluys Muradyan.
In 1933 the hero of the story got married with her countryman Sahak and
gave birth to ten children. Notwithstanding the numerous difficulties
in her life, the old woman considers herself a lucky person. She
helped more than hundred children to born.
The Muradyans have surrounded the oldest member of the family with
care. They tell with smile about the grandmother's love towards the
Armenian soap operas. Three years ago they celebrated the 100th birth
anniversary of Grandmother Arshaluys with the entire family, during
which she sang and even danced. The eyewitness wants that kindness
and peace reign the world and the youth be happy and healthy.
