On a humid summer day in August 1978, the Paris-Orly International Airport is teeming with people rushing to catch their flights. In the midst of this commotion, a sixteen-year-old boy stands alone, behind a pillar, watching the crowds and thinking about the terrible mission he has to fulfil. How oblivious these people are to the cruel fate that awaits them, how eager they are to catch a flight that will be their last...! Gray Wolves and White Doves is the compelling story of a young boy’s quest for identity and belonging. It takes the reader on a journey from a remote village in Anatolia, to a dingy dark basement in Istanbul, a seminary in the littleknown Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem, through Bavaria, and Sweden, and finally to Paris, where we find him on that fated day. Parallel to the drama is the revelation of the minefield of politics in West Asia: the cycle of retaliatory violence that threatens to extinguish a life, a family, and even an entire race, at the altar of political exigency. Rooted in the author’s own experiences, this book is powerful testimony to the indomitable human spirit that triumphs despite all odds
