    "ARMENIANS BURNT ALIVE BY TURKISH SOLDIERS"

    Recently, the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute's efforts towards
    collection of new data on the Armenian genocide have experienced
    great success with the enrichment of AGMI's collection of documentary
    photographs. The most recent discovery is a photo testifying of the
    Armenian Genocide and in particular the massacres of the Armenian
    population in the region of Mush.

    The photograph has been acquired by the AGMI and was captured by
    Russian soldiers on the Caucasus front in 1915. It portrays the
    remains of the Armenian villagers who were burnt alive during the
    massacres of Mush.

    This photograph is one of a kind. It is one of the well preserved
    photos discovered in an album called, "Album of refugees" published
    in Tiflis (1917). The album is consisted from 62 unique photos that
    demonstrate the events of the Armenian Genocide. However, only a few of
    the original 62 have survived and most of them are in dire conditions.

    Nonetheless, the authenticity of the "Album of refugees" is
    demonstrated through the validity and great condition of this unique
    photo. On the back of this picture is a quote in Russian stating;
    "Armenians burnt alive in Sheykhalan by Turkish soldiers". Furthermore,
    the photo is marked with the number 74, which indicates the existence
    of a larger collection of photographs captured by Russian soldiers
    during WWI.

    Hence, the AGMI is adamant in locating the remaining photos of this
    collection which will sturdily assist the Institute's efforts to
    demonstrate the complete picture of the first genocide of the 20th
    century.
