106-year-old granny on the crime of Turks: “It was like slaughtering sheep” (video)
106-year-old Sute Kocharyan is surprised how she has lived so long. She lost her parents at a very early age, she has also seen the death of her sisters, brothers, husband, son and grandchild. The woman living in Zvartnots community was at the age of 6 when the Ottoman Empire started the massacres of Armenians. A century has passed, but awful scenes are still in front of her eyes, “It was like slaughtering sheep or cattle. We saw children in blood, one could not distinguish whether they wee sheep or children,” the elderly woman recalls. She got married at a very early age. “I was 10, I met a person who seemed familiar, he told me that he would marry me. I answered that he was older than me and that I was a child. He was 20, 25 years older than me,” she tells. Granny Sute is Yazidi, but she has never felt herself to be stranger among Armenians.
