The book entitled “Neither to Laugh nor To Weep – A Memoir of the Armenian Genocide”, memoirs originally written in Armenian by Abraham H. Hartunian, compiled and translated into English by Vartan Hartunian, his son, is a biography of a priest based on his personal experiences and ideas, who served in Turkey between the dates 1895- 1922. In the publisher’s note part publisher introduces him as “an Armenian Protestant pastor and community leader who miraculously survived the massacres and deportations of the Armenians in Turkey from
1895 to 1922”. So when I refer to the author, I refer to both Abraham H. Hartunian, who is the author of the original text, and Vartan Hartunian, who prepared the final version of the book in English.
