VAKIFLI, Turkey — Evicted by Islamist rebels from the last Armenian village in Syria, a group of elderly apple farmers have found an idyllic refuge across the border in the land of their historic enemy, Turkey.
Seated on plastic chairs, three brothers recounted how after years of life in the shadow of conflict, war came knocking at their door in Kassab, a Christian Armenian town just across the border from the village of Vakifli.
