Armenian Genocide survivor celebrates 102nd birthday in U.S.

PanARMENIAN.Net - Asdghig Alemian, the Armenian Genocide survivor now residing of Weymouth Massachusetts, United States, turned 102, patriotledger.com reports.

Alemian escaped from the 1915 Armenian Genocide as a young girl, after both her parents were killed. She was brought to this country at age 12, in 1922, from a Syrian orphanage by an uncle and has lived in Weymouth since that time.

In recent years, Alemian took part in events with the Armenian-American community in Watertown and at the State House to underscore the importance of officially recognizing the Armenian Genocide.
