According to a population census made 140 years ago, 8000 Armenians used to live in Diyarbakır. Today, the only Armenian left in Diyarbakır is Sarkis Eken. He and his deceased wife Bayzar Alata used to live together at the St. Mary Church in Diyarbakir. Now, that Sarkis is left all alone in their house in the church, he claims that the state of loneliness seems to be too hard. He describes the loss of his wife like this, ‘Life is different with a woman at home. As Bayzar was still alive, the door was always opened. Now that door has shut.’
Sarkis Eken is looking out of the doors which have been shut one by one; the doors which got shut and declared nonexistent.
