Epress.am News from Armenia
The Armenian Genocide, the Holocaust and subsequent genocides are tragic events that should be forever remembered, reads a press release by the publisher published on PRWeb.com, promoting author Dr. Shahkeh Yaylaian Setian’s newly published book Humanity in the Midst of Inhumanity, which tells the stories of 16 descendants of survivors saved by Muslims who defied government orders and saved Armenians during the Armenian Genocide of 1915.
“In recognizing the brave actions of these noble Muslims, she hopes to mitigate the unjust prejudice against all Muslims. She describes the geo-political situation of the Genocide times and other issues of interest, such as the betrayal of Armenians by the 1923 Lausanne Treaty which did not mention Armenia nor the Armenian massacres, essentially rewarding the perpetrators of the Genocide with the land of the victims. The omission of fairly settling the Armenian issue was in order for allies to control the oil wealth in the region.
[…]“Despite the threat by the government that anyone who helped an Armenian would have their house burned down, their family killed in front of them, and then he/she would be killed, these brave rescuers acted bravely out of their humanity… Setian describes the after effects of the Armenian Genocide in its manifestations on individual lives, the Armenian community, and the political structures and actions of world powers, especially in America. Dr. Setian [would like to]… illustrate that those who were tortured and murdered were not simply numbers reported in statistics, but were living, breathing children, women and men,” reads the press release.
