Apple CEO Steve jobs who, passed away on Wednesday at age 56, is said
to have had a good command of the Armenian language.

Conducting a probe into the great legend’s biography, the Arab
language website Khabararmani.com has found out that Jobs, who was
raised in the family of an Armenian mother and an American father,
spoke Armenian fluently.

“[Jobs’ adoptive mother] Claire Hagopian played a very big role in
bringing up the genius,” the website said, adding that Jobs had never
been keen to speak about his biological parents.

Jobs was born in San Francisco and was adopted by the family of Paul
and Clara Jobs (nee Hagopian) of Mountain View, California. Paul and
Clara later adopted a daughter, Patti. Jobs’ biological parents –
Abdulfattah John Jandali, a Muslim Syrian immigrant to the U.S from
Homs, who later became a political science professor, and Joanne
Schieble (later Simpson), an American graduate student who went on to
become a speech language pathologist – eventually married. Together,
they gave birth to and raised Jobs’ biological sister, novelist
Mona Simpson.

Jobs experimented with different pursuits before starting Apple
Computers with Stephen Wozniak in the Jobs’ family garage. Apple’s
revolutionary products, which include the iPod, iPhone and iPad,
are now seen as dictating the evolution of modern technology.

A book about Job’s is coming soon. iSteve: The Book of Jobs,
authored by a former CNN CEO and an editor of the British Times,
Walter Isaacson, is the first official biography of the Apple legend.
