Along with many high points experienced during the historic trip of 80 hidden Armenians from Turkey, there were also a few low points. The highs included warm welcomes by Armenian government officials and people on the street, emotional triumphs at Sardarabad, feelings of grief at the Genocide Museum, new-found friendships, accomplishments such as spelling the alphabet during Armenian language classes, or simply being able to order food in Armenian at a restaurant. However, I want to point out a few of the lows our hidden Armenians encountered—all related to baptism.
Among the members of our group, two girls from Dersim and a young man from Diyarbakir wished to be baptized. Unfortunately, their wish did not come true.
The Armenian Commanders of the Soviet Union
Over 60 Armenian commanders were closely involved in the development of military operation plans on all front. Marshal of the Soviet Union Hovhannes Baghramian, Marshal of Aviation Armenak Khaneriants, Chief Marshal of the Armoured Troop of the Soviet Union Hamazasp Babajanyan; Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Ivan Isakov were the most striking figures of the Soviet Army. Nelson Stepanyan was one of the six dive bomber pilots that were twice awarded the title of the Hero of the Soviet Union.
