Ani Apikian continues to explore the history of Greek-Armenian families, documenting their collections of memory items and making them available to our readers. This new page presents the history of the Avakian family.
The article outlines the history of various branches of the family: the Der Artinian family from Marash, the Keheyan family from Adana, the Avakian family from Afyonkarahisar, and the Papazian family from Afyonkarahisar. Survivors from these families reached Greece in the early 1920s, where they started new lives.
This page was prepared in collaboration with the "Armenika" periodical of Athens.
