Armenia

About the Book

"To the Prefecture of Halepi. - The right of the Armenians to live and work on Turkish soil is abolished. Taking all responsibility in this matter, the government has decreed that not even babies in their cradles should be spared."

"To the Prefecture of Halepi. 15 January 1916 - It has come to our attention that children of the people in question (Armenians) are being accepted into certain orphanages. Since the governemnt regards the existence of these individuals as pernicious, it will be regarded as an act hostile to the state to rear or prolong the lives of these children or to show them any mercy...".

Talaat Pasha, Minister of Interior

About the Author

Shahzad Najmuddin offers in this concise but highly readable volume some absorbing details about Armenia and its history.
The horrors of the holocaust are depicted vividly and the period of Armenian splendor during Moghul India has also been accurately researched and presented. An objective appreciation of Mesrov B. Seth's famous book Armenians in India is also included.

The book is imperative reading for all Armenians and for those who belong to Diaspora community.

Shahzad---whose great-grandfather was Armenian---and a mentor to two Afghan Kings---is eminently qualified to write on this subject.
