Veron was born to a prosperous family that lived in the Armenian quarter of the city of Aziziya, Turkey. Her early childhood was idyllic, until 1915, when the Turkish government, after years of persecuting its Christian minorities, decided to rid Turkey of its Armenian population. Veron was deported with her family and survived incredible hardship and suffering until, at the age of 16, she left for America as a "mail-order" bride.

Russian Pullout From Base Under Question TBILISI (RFE/RL)--There was no indication that Russia would meet its July 2nd midnight deadline to vacate the Gudauta military base in Georgia's breakaway province of Abkhazia. Georgian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Kakha Sikharulidze said Russia asked permission to leave a 300-strong force at Gudauta. He said this request would be examined only after all Russian weapons are pulled out. Georgia fears that these weapons could fall into the hands of the Abkhaz leadership, which opposes the Russian withdrawal. Moscow-backed Abkhaz separatists fought against Georgian troops in 1992-1993, repelling them beyond the Inguri River that separates their province from the rest of the country. Georgia currently exerts no control over Abkhazia. Russia completed the handover to the Georgian government of the Vaziani airbase near Tbilisi. A pullout date remains to be negotiated for two remaining bases at Batumi and Akhalkalaki.

Ex-Soviet Breakaway Regions Discuss Cooperation In Artsax YEREVAN (RFE/RL)--The Nagorno-Artsax authorities hosted a meeting on July 2-3 of senior officials from four unrecognized republics of the former Soviet Union which seek to promote their multilateral ties to offset the lack of full international recognition. The foreign ministers of Artsax, the Georgian breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, and the Transdniester Republic which is seeking independence from Moldova began a two-day session in Stepanakert, focusing on internationally sponsored peace efforts in their areas. The parties were briefing each other on recent developments in their respective conflicts with Azerbaijan, Georgia and Moldova, Artsax officials said. The four entities, which fought successful secessionist wars in the 1990s, are due to issue a joint communiqué on July 3, pledging greater cooperation in the international arena. The president of the self-proclaimed Nagorno-Artsax Republic, Arkady Ghoukasian, described the meeting as "important." But speaking to RFE/RL, he stressed that the long-running conflicts in the four former Soviet republics have major historical and political differences and therefore require different solutions. Also on the agenda of the talks is the creation of a joint "information center" meant to facilitate the exchange of information among the entities. The officials also discussed the possibility of establishing direct commercial links. The four breakaway territories, which have enjoyed de-facto independence for the past decade, reject offers of conventional autonomy repeatedly made by the authorities in Baku, Tbilisi and Chisinau. They instead favor the creation of loose confederations with the former metropolies.
