    *******************************************
    SPIES
    *******************
    My first thought on meeting a fellow Armenian:
    Will I ever be successful in convincing him
    I am neither a crook nor a liar?
    *
    An elder statesman on Zarian:
    “He was a agent of the CIA and the KGB.”
    The evidence?
    He survived to a ripe old age in both
    America and the Soviet Union.
    *
    Nothing comes more naturally
    to a partisan Armenian than to think:
    “If he is not one of us,
    he must be with the opposition.”
    *
    After several decades of hard work
    dedicated to Armenian literature,
    the question that I ask myself against and again:
    We survived Turks. Will we survive Armenians?”
    *
    Was Zarian an agent of the CIA and the KGB?
    I don’t know.
    My guess is, on entering the U.S. and the USSR
    he was questioned by agents of the government,
    as I was by agents of the Canadian government.
