TURLOCK'S BEST KEPT SECRET IS OUT! By WILLIAM D. KANE Bee staff writer Arpy Surabian of Modesto was very young, hardly a year old, when her father and grandfather were taken away by Turkish soldiers and shot, the beginning of the Armenian massacre in which almost million people were murdered or died of disease and starvation. She is a survivor, one of the few hundred thousand Armenians who escaped the Ottoman genocide ordered in April 1915 to rid Turkey of its Armenian population. Buffeted by centuries of invasions, the Armenian homeland once covered parts of modern Soviet Georgia, Iran and eastern Turkey. The Armenians were victims of periodic pogroms and slaughter at the hands of the Turks.

Historians say the Armenians' fate was sealed at the outbreak of World War I when the Christian populace sided with the European Allies. Surabian was given a survivor medal last week in Washington, D.C., where she joined some 6,000 Armenian-Americans at a national gathering to mark the 70th anniversary of their people's genocide. The engraved medal depicts an eagle representing strength emerging from flames. "Up to now, I was never anxious to spread the gospel. It hurts me that the U.S.

government won't admit that the Turks massacred million people," She said. Perhaps 60 survived from her town of 3,000 inhabitants, she said. "I just want the president to declare: a national day and we want Turkey to admit it, to say, 'yes, we did it and are Surabian's plea is one continually echoed by today's Armenians, survivors and descendents.

"Grandfather was told the Turks were going to come and take men the away, but he couldn't believe it. When the day came, grandmother followed them down the street and saw the men taken to a hill and shot." Soldiers later came for the women and children. "The soldiers came and said we must be ready to leave and that we didn't need to take anything.

My mother managed to hide some jewelry and money. And we never came back," she said. Surabian said her mother made her way over hills and desert, sometimes by camel, to Aleppo, Syria, where she briefly taught school. An older brother died along the way. In 1919, the mother and daughter boarded a French ship to come to the United States, where they found relatives in Massachusetts.

The grandmother also came to the U.S. where she lived to be more than 90, Surabian said. Her mother settled in the Fresno-area Armenian community, where she was raised on a farm after her mother remarried. Today, Armenian-Americans say they shun violent retaliations against the Turks. "It burns me when these young Armenians from the Middle East come here and use guns.

We don't want these newcomers to do anything to bring us disgrace," Surabian said. "But there are so many evidences of what happened, why are they denying it? The Jews have their Holocaust. We want to remember, too," she said. David W. Doig in 1965 Gibbons had lived in California since 1914 and for several years in Oakdale.
