Dr. Ishkhan Babajanian
GLENDALE—On September 1 2017, Dr. Ishkhan Babajanian will be joined by several guests to present his memoirs, Odyssey of a Defiant Armenian Doctor. The book will be appearing in hardback for the first time at the presentation.
Dr. Babajanian’s memoirs reflect and highlight his turbulent life experiences, hardships and great struggles while he lived in Iran, the Soviet Union and the United States. He believes these experiences can be helpful for his children, grand-children, friends, communities across this world and future generations.
The memoir begins with the Armenian Genocide of 100 years ago and includes several climactic events, such as his grandfather’s murder by Turks and Kurds. The memoir takes the reader from Dr. Babajanian’s birthplace of Badelbu, Iran and continues to his current life in Northern California.
