"I was born in Khdr Bek, Musa Dagh in 1915. During the
rebellion of
Musa Dagh I was three months old. With my family and compatriots I left
for Port Said and stayed there for four years. At the termination of the
war I returned to Musa Dagh.""I received my primary education from the local schools of Khdr Bek and
Yoghun Oluk. I started the second part of my education at the Armenian
Gemaran of Beirut when I was fifteen. I stayed there five years until
1935. Then I became a teacher."
"I haven't played much. I've started writing at an early age. I was
published later in 1932. I've worked with the "Hayrenik" monthly,
"Haratch", "Aztag" daily and weekly, "Nayiri", "Hasg", "Dziadzan",
"Aztarar", and "Agos" publications. My pen names were Albatross, Vazken
Diranian, Y. Sarian, and Y. Dzovigian."
"I have written stories, prose, and poems."
