104-year-old receives Armenian passport

20:28 • 17.08.12



On Friday, Head of the passport office of the Vagharshapat police department Andranik Adamyan issued a passport of the Republic of Armenia to the oldest resident of the Marshal Baghramyan village, 104-year-old Movses Dermishyan.

Born in 1908 in western Armenia, he emigrated to eastern Armenia with his family. Moses Dermishyan saw both world wars and the Armenian Genocide in Turkey in 1915. He is one of the founders of Marshal Baghramyan village. He remembers how difficult it was under Joseph Stalin to name the village after Marshal Baghramyan, a great military figure, who was alive then.
