Bravo Joe, thanks for sharing with people.

It's a fascinating family history, it must be very satisfying to discover your roots. Armenians are spread around the world because of the genocide in 1915, thanks for sharing.

Hello. What a touching story, especially the part about his grand-grandmother and grandmother. I think you could tell that Joe got emotional when he was talking about them. TBH I got a little emotional myself. Very touching. Thanks for this story.

Had no idea he was an akper. Very cool

As a Jew, I understand his pain. My great grandmother had a similar experience with The Cossacks back in the early 1900s. My understanding is that she watched horror as her brother was beheaded by the Cossacks in Kiev and fled to the United States soon after.
