From 1915 to 1923, the Ottoman Empire drove the Armenians from their ancestral homeland and slaughtered 1.5 million of them in the process. While there was an initial global outcry and a movement led by Woodrow Wilson to aid the “starving Armenians,” the promises to hold the perpetrators accountable were never fulfilled. In this groundbreaking work, Michael Bobelian profiles the leading players—Armenian activists and assassins, Turkish diplomats, U.S. officials— each of whom played a significant role in furthering or opposing the century-long Armenian quest for justice in the face of Turkish denial of its crimes, and reveals the events that have conspired to eradicate the “forgotten Genocide” from the world’s memory.

Download and read online ebook The Armenians write by David Marshall Lang. This book was released on 1987-02-01. The Armenians available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The Hidden Holocaust: During the course of the First World War considerably over a million Armenians were slaughtered in one of the most horrific but least known genocides of recent history. The then government of Ottoman Turkey made a decision to liquidate their Armenian Christian subjects as a people. Armenian conscripts in the Ottoman armies were starved, beaten and machine gunned. Armenian intellectuals were murdered. In Armenian villages men were taken away and shot, while their women and children were rounded up and forced to walk southwards into the deserts, where many collapsed and died of hunger and exhaustion. The survivors were then incarcerated in open-air concentration camps, from which few emerged alive. All of this has been recorded in documents and individual memoirs. There can be no doubt that the genocide took place with full government knowledge and approval. But even today the present Turkish government denies the reality of the Armenian genocide and has erased it from official Turkish history. Yet for the Armenian people it is essential that the facts of their sufferings are recognized and their claims acknowledged. The Armenians is one of the few accessible accounts of this little known episode. But more than this, it gives an overview of past Armenian history and culture, the present situation of the Armenian diaspora around the world and prospects for the future. Written by David M. Lang and Christopher J. Walker, two leading writers on the Armenian situation, this new edition of this classic report also refers to the acute contemporary problems for Armenians in Lebanon and Iran as well as continuing repression in Turkey. An important report on an exceptional and cohesive minority group, which should be read by all those concerned with human rights and history as well as the Armenian people, wherever they live.
