The Ashdjian family lived in Konya for many years. Descendants of the family continued living in this city until approximately 1970.
This page presents the story of Krikor/Kirkor and Anna Ashdjian and their descendants, which begins in Konya and ends in Istanbul. The family history features numerous photographs and memory objects. Among these are unique photographs that chronicle the Ashdjians‘ pilgrimage to Jerusalem in 1905, alongside other noteworthy photographs taken in Konya.
The author of this family history is An-su Aksoy, a descendant of the family. At present, she is the steward of the many memory objects that she has inherited from her ancestors. Thanks to her efforts, the Ashdjian family‘s exceptionally fascinating history is now available to the public.
