[1][2] Vahe-Vahian was the fifth son of his parents; Hagop Abdalian, a merchant, and Azniv Vartabedian,[3] who, with his two elder sisters and mother survived the Armenian genocide of 1915.

The next four years he taught physics and mathematics to the upper classes in Broumana High School, and then, in 1935 he was invited to Melkonian Institute of Education in Nicosia, Cyprus, as lecturer of Armenian language and literature.

Vahe-Vahian, besides his daily occupation as a teacher to meet the needs of his family, was struggling at the time with the publication of Ani, an Armenian monthly of Literature and Art, which was interrupted for a while.

In 1968, Vahe-Vahian published a series of poems dedicated to his departed wife under the title of Madean Siro yev Mormok’i (Մատեան Սիրոյ եւ Մորմոքի, Book of love and grief).

His book of poems, Ghoghanch ou Mrmounch Verchalousayin (Ղօղանջ ու Մրմունջ Վերջալուսային, Twilight chime and murmur, 1990) is dedicated to Anahid for her affectionate and coddling support.

Later, he, with a greater out-pouring of emotions, corresponded with the elder sister of Lucie, Siran Seza, a prose writer and the editor of the newly published Yeridasart Hayouhi (Young Armenian woman), and with Alice Sinanian.

First in 1946 then in 1976, he was sent on a mission to the USA and Canada to undertake fundraising activities organised by the Central Committee of AGBU in America on behalf of bereaved Armenians in Lebanon.
