A First-Person Testimony About The Heroic Battle of Vasbouragan
Between
April 7 and May 4, 1915, the free-spirited and courageous Armenians of
Van had no other means but to defend themselves in order to escape
massacre and total annihilation.ASBAREZ EXCLUSIVE: Eric Bogosian on Writing ‘Operation Nemesis’ and How the Project ‘Radicalized’ and Changed Him
Eric Bogosian’s new book is not a novel or a script or a volume of monologues – the genres for which he is best known.Memoirs of an Armenian Genocide Survivor from Hadjin
Petitions
were made via the National Union to the French Government. However,
these requests to send French forces to Hadjin, remained unanswered.
Each day, telegrams from Hadjin were received expressing the close
proximity of the danger. The petitions would be repeated to send aidThe Great Retreat from Vasbouragan (June-July 1915)
After
two and one half months from the April-May battles, just as the new
Armenian government was starting to operate, the Russian command
suddenly—and without any explanation—decided to retreat from the areas

A
Wreath of Violet’s is the story of survival during the 1915 Armenian
Genocide in Ottoman Turkey. It is a fictionalized account, based on the
true story of Lori Berberian’s family. Following is an excerpt from the unpublished manuscriptA Deconstruction Of Connected Histories In Aline Ohanesian’s ‘Orhan’s Inheritance’
I
must admit, picking up a book with a narrative already too familiar is a
tall order. The task is made even more difficult when the narrative is
one that speaks to my ethnic and communal sense of belonging. The room
for disappointment is wide since so much is at stake.Aline Ohanesian {in her words}

Armenian Genocide in fictional, story, form. My sense is that this
notion animates all Armenians around the world. We all want our
