Children of Armenia in Istanbul's Labor Market
Every day, 13 year-old Mamoukan must convince himself that he loves his boss more than his own father. Tough socio-economic conditions have even started to impact the emotions and views of adolescent citizens ofArmenia.
Mamoukan works at a shoe making facility in Istanbul's Kumkapı neighborhood. The boy moved toTurkey with his mother Karineh and young brother Robert from the town ofHrazdan. Their grandmother and the youngest brother, Samvel, remained behind inArmenia.
Mamoukan says he has no information about his father. "I don't know where he is. He was here but left."
