A Shattered Family: No Consolation in Home of Victim Gor Kloyan

by Marianna Grigoryan, Armenia Now, Armenia - His teeth had fallen out into his palm, he tried to put them back somehow one by one, but they wouldn’t stay. They would fall out again.

“Mum, I saw a dream,” 28-year-old Gor Kloyan was telling his dream to his mother in the morning.

“I said, Gor, you saw a bad dream. Falling out teeth foretells a death of a loved one. Don’t go out today,” Gor’s mother Azatuhi says. “We have elderly grandmothers and grandfathers in our family, all are in bad health, I thought some bad thing would happen to one of them.”

The “bad thing” happened to Gor himself.
