The Tehlirian Family

Exclusive historical photograph of the Tehlirian family. Yerznka, 1908. First on the left is Solomon, with his sisters, brothers and father. The posture of 12-year-old Solomon is remarkable: he was symbolically photographed holding a dagger in his right hand - it was with this hand that he was at the scene of the careless shooting in Berlin on March 15, 1921 the main organizer of the event: Taleathin. Few survived the 1915 Genocide of the Tehlirians from the village of Bagarich in the Yerznka province of Western Armenia.
