“Black Book” Book

Description

The book depicts the apocalyptical events that took place in the late nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth century, leading up to the massacres of two million Armenians and their systematic extermination, robbery and expropriation of their property. As a result, Western Armenia was left desolate without its native population: the homeless and orphaned survivors scattered all over the world. All this happened before the eyes of the so-called civilized world at the turn of the twentieth century.

The book discusses those tragic moments and demonstrates the essence of this horrendous atrocity, its history, hidden motives and the large scale of the crime as recounted by writers, historians, diplomats, travelers, missionaries, jounalists, statesmen and military officials of different nationalities from all over the world: Americans, Arabs, Austrians, Belgians, Bulgarians, Danes, English, Estonians, French, Germans, Iranians, Italians, Jews, Norwegians, Russians, Scotts, Swiss, and even Turks.

The book aims to show that the genocide denial policy of the Turkish Government is doomed. Bearing witness to the remorseless and planned character of atrocities committed by the Ottoman Empire toward its Christian and non-Christian citizens, the authors of the book accuse the Turkish Government of planning, organizing and implementing the first genocide in the history of mankind.
