    March 1 2012

    Happy Birthday wishes and congratulations today to Asdghig Alemian
    of Weymouth as she turns 102 and celebrates with her family.

    Alemian escaped from the 1915 Armenian Genocide as a young girl,
    after both her parents were killed.

    She was brought to this country at age 12, in 1922, from a Syrian
    orphanage by an uncle and has lived in Weymouth since that time.

    She and her family lived in East Weymouth near Jackson Square where
    she ran a grocery store near the Immaculate Conception Church for
    many years.

    In recent years, Alemian took part in events with the Armenian-American
    community in Watertown and at the State House to underscore the
    importance of officially recognizing the Armenian genocide.
