During the massacres many Armenian homes were taken by Turkish families or destroyed. I met Professor Khatchatur Pilikian whose parents survived the massacres to discuss a painting of his from 1957 called ‘The Mansion on the Hill’.
Through my blog I want to explain my connection to this investigation and how my family are affected by the Armenian Diaspora. I will start by discussing my own experience in terms of the initial steps I took to discover my heritage and roots.
