Eduard Dzheredzhyan

“Where are the Nelson Mandels? asks Eduard Dzheredzhyan, sitting in his office at Rice University in Houston. “I don’t see any Nelson Mandela in Turkey. I don’t see Nelson Mandela in Azerbaijan. I don’t see Nelson Mandela in Armenia. And we need him. For Armenia, the biggest challenge of today is reconciliation with its neighbors.” If anyone can ask such a question, it is Jerejyan.

Because of what happened to his family in Armenia, he committed himself to the diplomatic service at an age when most young people are still trying to figure out who they are and what they want to do in life. “When I heard stories about the Genocide from my parents, I was still at school in New York.”

I began to wonder, “Why did I survive? Why am I here when so many other people have died?”

“I felt that I had to in some way honor the memory of those who were not as fortunate as me, and also repay the United States, that great country that gave my parents political asylum.”

Dzheredzhyan has served in the administration of eight US presidents, including as ambassador to Israel. However, his stay in an official post in Damascus was for him the most poignant experience. It was in Aleppo, in northern Syria, that his father Bedros escaped death. After the death of both parents at the hands of the Ottoman Turks, Bedros, along with other Armenian fellow villagers, had to leave his native village of Hachn (now the city of Saimbeyli, in southern Turkey) and go on a long walk to the desert near Deir ez-Zor.

When the exiles reached Aleppo, Bedros managed to escape and found refuge with a Syrian Arab family, who hired him as a horse groom.

While working in this family, he discovered that two Armenian girls, orphaned on the death march, were forcibly taken into the harem of a house where a Turkish officer lived. Bedros was so angry that he went there alone on horseback and rescued the girls, smuggling them to the Armenian church in Aleppo.

The story could have ended there, but in Worcester, Massachusetts, the girls had an older brother who had already received US citizenship. He managed to get them to the United States, where they told him how Bedros had saved them.

Somehow, in that pre-Internet era, my brother found Bedros at Robert College in Istanbul and helped him emigrate.

A man whose name is not recorded in the Jerejian family files helped Bedros settle in Worcester, Massachusetts, where he opened a grocery store.

While working in Massachusetts, Bedros met the woman who would later become his mother-in-law. It was during this first meeting that she showed him a photograph of her daughter, Maria Yazydjian, who also escaped the Armenian Genocide and moved to Cuba, to Havana, thanks to the help of the manager of the Danish orphanage in the Lebanese city of Jebeil, Maria Jacobsen. “He was very impressed by the photograph of this young woman,” recalls Eduard Dzheredzhyan. “He decided to go to Havana and bring her back, after which they got married.”

Jerejian’s parents were classical immigrants who wanted to provide their children with a better life. “My parents wanted me and my brother to have opportunities that they never had. They helped me get the best education they could afford and always inspired me to succeed, to strive to be the first.”

And he has succeeded, as the walls of his office at Rice University indicate. They are hung with photographs where Dzheredzhyan is depicted with a whole galaxy of various world leaders – from George W. Bush to Nelson Mandela. From this desk, he directs the Baker Public Policy Institute, the ninth most influential university-affiliated think tank in the world, with major interests in energy policy, health and life sciences, Middle East politics, Mexico, and fiscal policy. .

Thanks to his family’s experience, while working in Syria, Jerejyan was able to forge a close professional relationship with the then leader of the country, Hafez al-Assad. When Jerejyan formally presented his credentials as the new US ambassador, he told Assad that he was born in the United States thanks to his father’s heroic act in saving two girls in Syria.

“If someone had told that Armenian youth who had just lost his parents during the Genocide that one day his son would come to Damascus as the US ambassador, he would have replied: “You are out of your mind.” But that’s how it all happened.”

Assad was pleasantly surprised. I drew his attention to myself. Subsequently, during the three years of work, I often met with him, and we achieved a lot. I managed to turn the heavy legacy of the Genocide into my life’s work.”

Dzheredzhyan has repeatedly traced the path of his family to Aleppo. “I loved Aleppo. He is very handsome – or was. Little is left of Aleppo today because of the internecine war going on there.” Unfortunately, there is not a single record of the time that his father spent there, where he worked and where he saved the Armenian girls.

Jerejian’s involvement in conflict resolution in one of the world’s most troubled regions has given him a unique opportunity – and a unique right – to reflect on the issues facing Armenia today. “I believe that we need to move from the sense of self of the victims of the Genocide to the future of Armenian culture, the Armenian people and Armenians, wherever they are,” he says. Eduard Dzheredzhyan is convinced that in order for Armenia to succeed, it is time for it to find a new strategy for domestic and foreign policy.

“The best way to pay tribute to those who died during the Genocide is to work tirelessly for the benefit of a prosperous, secure, peaceful Armenia. We must do everything in our power as a diaspora to help Armenia achieve stability and success in the dangerous and isolated region where it is located.”

How to achieve this? Armenia will not be able to become a prosperous country without reconciliation with Turkey, Jerejyan believes. “The first step is to open the borders and restore economic and commercial ties with this country.”

Peace is not only in the interests of Armenia.

“Reconciliation has its advantages for Turkey too,” he argues. – Armenia is a Christian country, and Turkey will be able to earn points for itself by making peace with a Christian state bordering on it. This will help Turkey join the European Union. Armenia does not pose a strategic threat – it is too small for that. But because of the Genocide, which the Turks perceive very painfully, our country is a cultural and ideological threat.”

Conflict resolution is vital “because without peace and security, Armenia cannot become prosperous. And therefore, the Armenian government is faced with the task of recruiting and training a cadre of diplomats and politicians who would have a vision of how to make Armenia a prosperous and safe country.”

“This is what the Armenian community should be doing now. Hence the question: where are the Nelson Mandelas? For Armenia, this is the biggest challenge of our time.”
