I am Armenian


My mother, visiting the desert in Syria, Del Zor, where she lost siblings and other relatives.















Although I am Armenian, I was born in Central California.  I grew up with Armenians and the Armenian church, but I have never been able to travel to my homeland.  In fact, my parents and their parents came from Turkey.  It's a long, historical story.  Of course, there are factions and divisions, but the heart and the plight of every Armenian remains the same.  This little video and speech describes it beautifully.
