Yearning = Karot
During the infamous genocide of 1915, many Armenians fled to Eastern Armenia, looking for help and relief from Russia. Just several years later the new communist rulers indifferently donated a huge chunk of Armenian land to Ottoman Turkey, thus cutting any hopes by Armenians to revive their old cities and villages. Arakel Aloyan is an Armenia who had seen his village burnt and women raped by the Turks, who had fled to the East and began a new life in Soviet Armenia ... but still yearns for his home village that is now in Turkey
