Aram Haigaz

Aram Haigaz (Armenian: Արամ Հայկազ - March 22, 1900 - March 10, 1986) was the pen name of Aram Chekenian, an Armenian writer who was born in the town of Shabin Karahisar, Ottoman Empire, and survived the Armenian Genocide in 1915. He was a young boy when his birthplace was attacked, and his first book, ''The Fall of the Aerie'', published in English translation in 1935, is often cited by scholars and historians for its eyewitness details.〔Svajian, Stephen G. ''A Trip Through Historic Armenia'', GreenHill Publishing Ltd., 1977 (Self Defense of Shabin Karahissar () 456-463)〕 He wrote ten books in his lifetime, as well as articles and essays for Armenian newspapers and magazines.
==Early years==
Aram Haigaz’s home town was situated at the foot of a mountain in the northeastern area of present day Turkey. In the summer of 1915 when the military forces of the enemy were near, in what became known as the Shabin-Karahisar uprising, the entire Armenian population of 5,000 set fire to their homes and fields and climbed up the mountain to the remains of an old Roman fort at its peak. They took food and animals with them and fought for almost one month, until forced by famine to surrender. Of the more than 5,000 who climbed to the fort, only a handful survived. Aram Haigaz’s brothers, his father and other relatives were among those killed. He and his mother were sent on deportation, a forced march leading to the Syrian desert.〔''ARMENIANS ARE SENT TO PERISH IN DESERT; Turks Accused of Plan to Exterminate Whole Population - People of Karahissar Massacred'', New York Times, August 18, 1915, page 5〕 Aram Haigaz survived by converting to Islam, which allowed him to live as a Muslim, with a Turkish master, until he escaped to freedom.〔Hovannisian, Richard G. (Ed.), ''The Armenian genocide : history, politics, ethics / edited by Richard G. Hovannisian ; foreword () George Deukmejian'', New York : St. Martin's Press, 1992, ISBN 0-7867-0996-0〕 His memoir of that time, ''Four Years in the Mountains of Kurdistan'', describes his life as a shepherd and servant, and how he grew from boyhood to a young man among the Kurdish tribesmen and chieftains, when Turkey was still the Ottoman Empire.
