Turkish lawyer, writer and human rights activist Fethiye Cetin, the
author of the memoir entitled “My Grandmother”, says that when her
70-year-old Armenian grandma Hranush was talking about her roots it felt
like easing the burden she had been carrying on her frail shoulders for
years. She was “emptying her soul” during the declining years of her
life trusting Fethiye with what she had kept in the dark depths of her
memory. Talking about it soothed grandma Heranush’s pain, and the legacy
inspired her granddaughter’s first book.
