Levon Afeyan and Canada

Nazarian: Nazarian, who been in Canada for about a year, has been working for six months at a Montreal plywood factory owned by Levon Afeyan, who fled Lebanon civil war with his parents and two brothers in 1975, according to Toronto Star. I like working here very well, Nazarian says in English before finishing his answer — to take care of my family — in Armenian. So much good, he says with a big smile, offering a thumbs-up to emphasize his joy. Nazarian is one of 12 Syrian refugees among 80 employees and Afeyan intends to hire more as Canada opens its borders to thousands of people fleeing the Assad regime and the Islamic State. They haven’t grasped that yet, he says. One of the most difficult things for the Syrian refugees Afeyan employs is to accept that their move to Canada is likely a permanent one.
