Tigranuhi Asatryan, born in 1910, Kagizman town, Kars Province. 2010.
“We emigrated from Kagizman on two occasions. I don’t remember the first time well. But I remember the second, in 1918, very well — that terrifying day, the dead children … until we managed to get to Leninakan. We lost our relatives — my aunt, her three sons. They tortured my uncle in a Turkish prison, then killed him. There were suffering Armenians everywhere.
“I was the daughter of a rich household. But they did everything during the massacres — murders, rape, everything — nobody was spared.”
