also one of the
Armenians who was in the jute trade. It is important to mention that in the 1980s, when the church was at its most vulnerable, and close to being taken over, Mr. Martin was instrumental in maintaining the survival of the Armenian Church in Dhaka. Without the many personal sacrifices and complete devotion to the church, the premises and the history of the Armenians in Dhaka, would not have survived today. He and his family spearheaded what can only be described as a monumental effort to preserve the church, and because of his selfless efforts, and against all odds, the church continues to exist. Mr. Martin died in Canada on April 10, 2020.
