Jobs, who has recently resigned as chief executive of Apple Inc. in a stunning move that ended his 14-year reign at the technology giant he co-founded in a garage, is known to have been brought up by a woman of Armenian origin, Clara Jobs (née Hagopian) and Paul Jobs as an infant.
Milliyet reported that the book titled “Steve Jobs: A Biography by Walter Isaacson” reveals an interesting detail about Job's adoptive mother as it says Clara Jobs is the daughter of an Armenian family who immigrated to the US from Turkey's Malatya province following the 1915 incidents during the World War I in Ottoman territories that resulted in the deaths of many Armenians. The book reportedly says Clara's father Louis Hagopian was born in Malatya in 1894 and her mother Victoria Artinian was born in İzmir in 1894.
Isaacson's book is based on more than 40 interviews with Jobs conducted over two years as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors and colleagues.
