Residents of the Kumkapı neighbourhood of Istanbul regard Anahit as one of the oldest and best traders around.
Fifteen years ago she sold her apartment in Yerevan and moved to Istanbul with dreams of striking it rich and enjoying the good life.
She's now 70; alone and tired.
In pursuit of a better life overseas, the family has split up. Anahit hasn't seen her children, now living in Russia, for many years.
"We only talk on Skype. That's how we stay in touch. Where can I go at my age," Anahit says, assuring me that she has many friends in Istanbul to keep her company.
