Death
When the 1915 Armenian Genocide broke out, Armen Karo became very depressed and sick. When Armenia lost its independence, his sickness grew worse. He died of heart disease in Geneva, Switzerland on March 23, 1923, where he was attending a conference on Russia.
He is regarded as a national hero by Armenians, especially ARF supporters due to his numerous efforts in helping his people.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“You listen to artists fighting with each other, competing to the death like gladiators, in order to see who is going to get into a show, who is going to make it, who isn’t: who is going to get a full-page ad and who is going to get a half-page. Then I think, “Wouldn’t it be wonderful to go off somewhere and just do your work?””
—Howardena Pindell (b. 1943)
“Death destroys a man: the idea of Death saves him.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“I’m afraid of needles.
I’m tired of rubber sheets and tubes.
I’m tired of faces that I don’t know
and now I think that death is starting.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
