[edit]Removal of uncited sentence
[edit]I have removed the following sentence:
Due to the state-sponsored destruction of the Armenian community in the Turkish state which commenced in 1894-95 and reached its apex in 1915, the remnants of Kazazian's extended family were scattered penniless to the far ends of the earth.‹The template Talkfact is being considered for merging.› [citation needed]
Hagop Kazazian lived alone with his elderly mother and had no wife or children. He lived between 1833-1891. I can find no facts supporting the sentence above. Please note that this is not a dispute about the events of 1915, just a dispute as to whether or not Kazazian's family was affected in 1915. --Free smyrnan 13:07, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- Good article, and I wouldn't worry about this exclusion. If there is a specific account of what happened to his family after he died, it would be worth discussing whether it should be included, but it is of questionable importance since it is not him and it is post-mordem... --RaffiKojian 02:50, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- True, it is a good article. Good job smyrnan! It is nice to see articles like this from time to time :) Baristarim 03:00, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Bezciyan
[edit]Does anyone here know if Hagop Kazazian had any brothers or sisters or who his cousins were. Where was his family from before they setled in Constantinople/Istanbul? Was he in any way related to Artin Amira Kazaz, formerly known as Bezciyan? I have often wondered if it was a family connection that brought about my family's prominence and their close associations with the Sublime Porte.
- Artin Bezciyan shows up plenty on a google search -- biographies are also there (Turkish). "Kazaz" - meaning silk trader was a "lakab" - an almost formal nickname. Similarity of last name may not signify kinship, Ottoman Armenians seemed to have changed last names sometimes to correspond with their or their father's occupation. --Free smyrnan 06:14, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
- You are so very knowledgeable. Do you know anything about Abdul Messih Kazazian who was working in the Sultan's palace?
- Just a financial history and Ottoman history buff. If no secondary sources exist, if you know the Sultan and the particular post, you can check out archives. Also, if you know the district of Istanbul he lived in, you can check out the records of the district church. Abd-ul Mesih (slave of the Messiah in Arabic) is a weird name for an Armenian though. Are you sure that was his real name? Also, please sign your comments. --Free smyrnan 07:01, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, that was his real name. It was during the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid II just like Hagop Kazazian Pasha. That is why I thought that there may be a familial connection. Ab-dul Messih went to Saint Savior Armenian Catholic Church in Galata. How do I sign my comments?
- Well, why don't you contact someone from the Armenian Catholic community? A quick google tells me the current bishop's name is Hovhannes Çolakyan. They may be able to help you track down your ancestor. Also, there is a page on the history of that church, and the church is operational. Just google a bit (most of it in Turkish though, don't know whether you speak it). To sign, put in 4 tilde's, next to one another -- this gives more detail: Help:Editing. --Free smyrnan 08:36, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Armenian Catholic?
[edit]I am asking for citation that Agop Paşa was Catholic. I have not seen any references that make this claim, especially the book by Çarkçıyan, Yervant Gomidas would be relevant, as the author is a Catholic priest and mentions it particularly if someone was Catholic. Also, in the biography provided by Çarkçıyan, it is mentioned that the order given by the Pope was delivered through the Patriarch Azaryan to Agop Paşa. So, if there are references that state Agop Paşa is Catholic, please provide them. --Free smyrnan 05:35, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Hagop was my great grandmothers great uncle. I was told that my grandfathers family didnt believe in anything, and didnt attend church. That is, until the Turks burned down the college, and the church, and killed all the missionaries. She then went to a tent meeting, where the prophecy ( the Russian child ) was being read. We followed the instructions in that prophecy in 1910 and went to the west coast of the US. After that, we decided that God is real. Moomjian 2021
