Famous humorist told about the victims of the Armenian genocide among her relatives

Standup comedian Karina Meyhanajyan shared her family’s tragic story of the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire in 1915. In an interview published on the VK Video platform, the actress told about the fate of her great-grandmother, who lost almost all loved ones in her teens.

According to Meyhanajian, her great-grandmother was only 15 years old when the Turks broke into their house. The girl witnessed the brutal massacre of her parents, brothers and sisters. She managed to survive only because she managed to hide with her one-year-old brother.

After the attack, the girl took the baby and went through the mountains in search of a safe place. Having reached the Armenian settlement, she remained without a roof over her head for some time. Subsequently, she was accepted by a local family, and her younger brother was assigned to a children's shelter in Gyumri.

Meyhanajyan stressed that the tragedy experienced by her ancestors still occupies a special place in the memory of her relatives. Every year, on April 24, the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Armenian Genocide, the family remembers the victims. The humorist noted that her mother personally knew her grandmother, so the story remains deeply personal for several generations.
