Born in Instanbul, he studied at the Aramian-Undjian Armenian
school and the Saint Joseph French lyceum. With a degree in
medicine, he practices as a urological surgeon. From the age
of 14, his work was published in Armenian magazines. In 1974
the publication of his book of poetry, Lo, was a revelation
in the world of literature in the Armenian Diaspora.

Several years ago, the Tekeyan Cultural Association
had a celebration in New York City, honoring the 75th
anniversary of the Armenian writer and poet Khachik
Dashtents. I took part in the evening, interpreting
two songs that I wrote using the lyrics of his poems.
The text of one of 
these
songs, Armenian, which I adapted into the form of an
anthem, is included in all handbooks of Armenian literature
published in the Diaspora. The audience greeted the
song with great enthusiasm. I believe there were two
reasons for this. In the first place, its message exhorts
students to speak Armenian in the countries where it
is threatened with disappearance; and in the second
place, I sang it with a little choir of young girls
who presumably have gotten the message...
