<P> "The Armenian and the Armenian" is a short story written by William Saroyan in August 1935 in New York . It was first published in 1936 in the collection of short stories entitled Inhale & Exhale . Over the years, the story has become known for the excerpt--"arguably (Saroyan's) most famous saying"--about the survival of the Armenian people after the genocide of 1915 . </P> <P> William Saroyan was born in Fresno, California, to Armenian immigrant parents from Turkish (Western) Armenia . The Armenian community in Fresno--already significant by the 1910s--grew larger by the influx of genocide survivors and Saroyan grew up in an Armenian environment . In his 1935 story "First Visit to Armenia", Saroyan wrote that he "began to visit Armenia as soon as I had earned the necessary money ." </P>
