Dedication
To my mother Zepure (nee Panikian) of Bardizag
(Constantinople/Istanbul), who nurtured me
in
the
culture of my forebears and in the proper use of the
Armenian language;
To my father Levon of Yaraisar-Shghni (Sepasdia/
Sivas), who inculcated in me a love for and devotion to
the native soil of my ancestral homeland;
To Mary (Mariam) MeIjian (nee Aahjian), a loyal
daughter of Edessa (Urha1Urfa), who inspired me in
the writing of this tome.
