Kevork Laklakian left Syria two years ago.

Ever since, he's been foundering as to where to resettle – Armenia, Istanbul, or even back to Syria.

In 2013, Kevork, a knowledgeable auto repairman, went to work at a Yerevan repair shop.

"I was getting 15, 000 dram every week. It wasn't enough to cover all my expenses, rent and other things," Kevork says.

A few months after relocating to Armenia, Kevork's family moved to Istanbul from Syria. The family advised him to come to Istanbul as well and Kevork regarded it as a viable option. So he left Armenia for Turkey and went to work.
