The dagger once belonged to comrade-in-arms of Andranik Ozanyan, Armenia's National Hero. Sargsyan family from Western Armenia had been witnesses to tragic events of 1915. Says Haykanush Sargsyan to PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, ''I'm proud of my ancestors who bravely fought against Turkish vandals. I'm happy the museum will become a new home for our family relic.''

Its important that we were prepared for it, as there are may questions to which we ourselves don't know the answers,'' Haykanush Sargsyan stressed.
