Robert Bedrosian Marries High Tech With Ancient Armenian Manuscripts The Armenian Mirror-Spectator
One-time scenario. It went on from earliest childhood until my father, aunt and uncles died. He [Bedrosian’s father] was greatly interested in justice for the Armenians and he was always pointing out events from Armenian history.”Western Armenian was Bedrosian’s first language. His parents deliberately and consciously spoke it at home. Bedrosian reminisced: “I can remember when I started kindergarten, the teacher complained to my mother that I was mixing ‘strange’ words in my conversation. While in grammar school, I was sent to Armenian school on Saturdays — for years.”
Eventually, when he became 11 or so, like many other children placed in this type of demanding position, he rebelled and did not want to have anything to do with Armenia, the Armenian language or Armenians.
However, when Bedrosian was in junior high school and taking Latin, he encountered many references to Armenia and the Armenians in the texts he was reading. Evidently, this stimulated new interest in the Armenians, but there was little in English that he could find except for two general histories by Jacques de Morgan and Vahan Kurkjian. “I gobbled them up,” Bedrosian exclaimed.
