For the Family and Friends of
Allen and Sose
Hayastan and the World

Vshtakits barekamner,

He was, for our father, the finest of students and a true intellectual.

He was, for our son, a compatriot and friend and fellow soldier.

He was, for us the humble guides of his generation, a reminder of why
we ourselves had moved to Armenia once upon a time.

He came, as we had come, for love and for struggle.

Allen Yekikian and Sose Thomassian were married in Armenia, and
together they believed that they were going to make it in the
Homeland. They believed, to the very end, that Armenia was going to
make it.

As we ask God, in our hallowed tradition, to illuminate their united
soul, we bear our heartfelt share in this terrible loss for the
Nation. We shall continue, in Allen’s and Sose’s name, to love and to
struggle for making Armenia the one and only of their dreams.

We are so obliged.

Miasin misht,

Raffi and Armenouhi K. Hovannisian
