Download or read book Surviving the Forgotten Genocide written by John Minassian and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-03-27 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rare and poignant testimony of a survivor of the Armenian genocide. The twentieth century was an era of genocide, which started with the Turkish destruction of more than one million Armenian men, women, and children—a modern process of total, violent erasure that began in 1895 and exploded under the cover of the First World War. John Minassian lived through this as a young man, witnessing the murder of his kin, concealing his identity as an orphan and laborer in Syria, and eventually immigrating to the United States to start his life anew. A rare testimony of a survivor of the Armenian genocide, one of just a handful of accounts in English, Minassian’s memoir is breathtaking in its vivid portraits of Armenian life and culture and poignant in its sensitive recollections of the many people who harmed and helped him. As well as a searing testimony, his memoir documents the wartime policies and behavior of Ottoman officials and their collaborators; the roles played by foreign armies and American missionaries; and the ultimate collapse of the empire. The author’s journey, and his powerful story of perseverance, despair, and survival, will resonate with readers today.

Download or read book Betrayed Armenia written by Diana Agabeg Apcar and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2021-05-19 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'Betrayed Armenia,' the Armenian writer and humanitarian Diana Abgar presented an accurate report of the Armenian massacres. The massacre took place in the Adana Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire in April 1909. The slaughter of Armenian Christians by Ottoman Muslims in the city of Adana amid the Ottoman countercoup of 1909 grew into a series of violent anti-Armenian riots throughout the province. As a result, approximately 20,000 to 25,000 people were killed in Adana and surrounding towns, mainly Armenians. In this valuable work, Abgar excellently describes the reasons for the inhumane killings, the evidence against the responsible parties, and many more unknown facts about the events. It's an insightful work and a must-read for anyone interested in knowing the history of Armenia.

Download or read book Humanity in the Midst of Inhumanity written by Shahkeh Yaylaian Setian and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-10-06 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Setian provides stories submitted by sixteen descendants of survivors who were saved by Muslims during the 1915 Armenian Genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman Turks. She offers a corrective to mitigate the prejudice against Muslims and to uphold and to promote their dignity. She describes the geopolitical situation of the Genocide times and other issues of interest with commentary, such as the betrayal of Armenians by the 1923 Lausanne Peace Treaty, which did not mention Armenia nor the Armenian massacres. The omission of fairly settling the Armenian issue was in order for Allies to control the oil wealth in the region. He who owns the oil will rule the world (M. Henry Berenger, French senate, December 12, 1919). Setian graphically includes the vicious treatment of victims in order to convey the horrors committed by government officials and out of control citizens that seared the atmosphere. Noble Muslims risked their lives to save Armenians in the midst of such inhumanity.

Download or read book The Resurrection of an Armenian Girl written by Stephen Tarpinian and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-01-05 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turkey still refuses to classify the Armenian massacre of 1915 as genocide, even though over one million Armenians were murdered by the Ottoman Empire. This is a tragedy that the world must never forget. In this startling new memoir of one survivor's journey, the lives and souls of the lost-and the living-are celebrated and treasured. Helen Tarpinian was only eleven when the soldiers came to her hometown of Sivas, Turkey. She was one of the few survivors of that attack. Later, during a brutal forced march, the soldiers separated her from her little brother, Krikor. She managed to escape, fleeing first to Aleppo, Syria, and then to America. She never lost hope that she would see Krikor again. Helen shared her experiences with very few people, but she did tell her story to her grandson Stephen Tarpinian. By writing The Resurrection of an Armenian Girl, Stephen ensured that Helen would never be forgotten. When Stephen died unexpectedly in 2015, his family and loved ones took up his cause. They finished the book as a tribute to Helen and Stephen and added an epilogue about Helen's connection to other survivors and her enduring legacy of love and light. 100% of the proceeds from this book are donated to the Steve Tarpinian Memorial Fund.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Svazlian is an ethnographer and folklorist at the Armenian Academy of Sciences. Since the mid-1950s she interviewed Armenian survivors of the Turkish Genocide of Armenians. Those efforts are presented in this volume. It is a courageous work for the most part done in the Armenian S.S.R. and Turkey where Svazlian's inquiries entailed risk to herself and her interviewees. Svazlian also collected the songs these survivors had brought with them from their cities and villages of origin. Many are responses to the Genocide itself.The interviews are short but their very large number and pointedness capture the personal horrors of the gneocide very well. This book makes a unique and invaluable contribution to genocide documentation.C O N T E N T S for Volume 1:ForewordPart One: H I S T O R I C A L S T U D YI.The Genre and Typological Peculiarities of the Historical Testimonies of the Eyewitness SurvivorsII.The Course of the Armenian Genocide According to the Historical Testimonies of the Eyewitness Survivors BibliographyPart Two: H I S T O R I C A L P R I M A R Y S O U R C E SI.

Download or read book Looking Backward Moving Forward written by Richard G. Hovannisian and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decades separating our new century from the Armenian Genocide, the prototype of modern-day nation-killings, have fundamentally changed the political composition of the region. Virtually no Armenians remain on their historic territories in what is today eastern Turkey. The Armenian people have been scattered about the world. And a small independent republic has come to replace the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic, which was all that was left of the homeland as the result of Turkish invasion and Bolshevik collusion in 1920. One element has remained constant. Notwithstanding the eloquent, compelling evidence housed in the United States National Archives and repositories around the world, successive Turkish governments have denied that the predecessor Young Turk regime committed genocide, and, like the Nazis who followed their example, sought aggressively to deflect blame by accusing the victims themselves.This volume argues that the time has come for Turkey to reassess the propriety of its approach, and to begin the process that will allow it move into a post-genocide era. The work includes "Genocide: An Agenda for Action," Gijs M. de Vries; "Determinants of the Armenian Genocide," Donald Bloxham; "Looking Backward and Forward," Joyce Apsel; "The United States Response to the Armenian Genocide," Simon Payaslian; "The League of Nations and the Reclamation of Armenian Genocide Survivors," Vahram L.
