A view from the other side

Repatriation was a powerful movement that encompassed hundreds of thousands of Armenians. All, however, were not able to immigrate due to various factors. There were also those who, for political and ideological interests or certain personal reasons, regarded mass repatriation as inopportune. A portion of their oral testimonies have also been recorded, allowing us the chance to view and understand the repatriation phenomenon from the opposite perspective.
