ONE IMPORTANT PUBLICATION ABOUT THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

Abstract

Arshag Chobanian’s extensive article “La nation Arménienne et son œvres culturelle” published in 1945 is dedicated to the Armenian Genocide, committed by the leaders of the Young Turks. They chose the following solution for the Armenian Question - Armenia without Armenians. It cites many testimonies of contemporaries, which are full of terrifying facts, and shows us the brutality of the Turkish government. It makes an accent on many glorious facts of the historical past of the Armenian nation, which confirm the most honorable role of Armenia in the history of mankind.

It is shown that, although the Armenian inhabitants of Western Armenia were exterminated, they continued their historical course on a territory much smaller than their historical motherland, and were revived.

There are many facts about how great the role of Armenians was in developing Turkey in the fields of culture, industry and especially architecture.

I dedicate this article to the 90^th anniversary of the publication of the heroic novel The Forty Days of Musa Dagh where an episode of Armenian’s self-defence stuggle against the Genocide of Armenians is skillfully depicted due to Franz Werfel’s humanitarian impulses.
