quote
  • Living with the Armenians of the city, I witnessed every day the terms of equality on which they dwelt amongst their Muslim neighbours. The Armenian followed the Muslims corpse to its place of burial; the Muslims showed the same mark of respect to the deceased of the Armenian community. They mutually attended each others weddings, and participated in the little matters which spring up in society. The Armenian presented gifts on Nawroz, or the local new year's day ; he received them on his own Christmas-day. If it had happened that a Muslim had married an Armenian female who was lost to the Church of the Cross, I found that the Armenians had re-taliated, and brought Muslim females into their families, and inducted them into their faith. An Armenian, in conversation with the present head of the Wais family said, that some perms had called him a kafir or infidel. The reply was, "He that calls you a Kafir is a Kafir himself." It is something for a Christian to reside with Muslims so tolerant and unprejudiced. Wine, prohibited to be made or sold in the city, is permitted to be made and used by Armenians (en)
