Armenian Genocide

Raymond Kévorkian presents the most comprehensive examination ever made on this subject in his major work, The Armenian Genocide, based on years of research.

Kévorkian, who presents a detailed breakdown of the regions where Ottoman Armenians lived and their social, economic and cultural situations, based on documents in different archives and published research, as well as various correspondence, memoirs, consular reports, telegrams, newspaper reports and testimonies, explains the deportation routes to the valleys where the massacres took place. It describes one by one the areas where the events took place and how the massacres were organised. It reveals very vividly what happened in 1915. The Armenian Genocide is a masterpiece that examines how this human disaster, which reinforced the crisis of Turkish society, happened, those responsible, what happened to its victims, the trials carried out, and deals with all aspects of this disaster from the end of the 19th century to the establishment of the Republic of Turkey.

"...every case of genocidal violence has an internal logic that it obeys and that makes it unique. The physical destruction of the Armenian people living in the Ottoman Empire also has a distinctive feature: [This physical destruction] is the establishment of the Turkish nation-state, which was the ultimate goal of the Young Turks." In other words, these two facts are inextricably linked: We cannot understand one by ignoring the other."
