Yerevan, April 10, Noyan Tapan. The Armenian Genocide in the Light
of "Arab Historiography" writing of professor Nicolay Hovhannisian,
corresponding member of the ANAS and Doctor of Historical Sciences,
was published in Tehran in Persian early this year. According
to N.Hovhannisian, the book was translated to Persian by Garun
Sargsian, founding member of the Iran- Armenia Friendship Union. At
her request, the author wrote a foreword for the Persian edition of
the book beginning with the heading "Iran is not that country, and
the Persians are not that people, who can organize Genocide against
Armenians". According to N.Hovhannisian, these words belong to the
founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran Ayatollah homeini, who in 1997
thanks to Hovhannisian addressed these words to Armenia's leaders and
to the Armenian people. Published in 2005 in English, this book is
an original study. It is devoted to the discussion of issues of the
1915 Armenian Genocide in Arab historiography. The author carefully
examined how a number of basic questions were highlighted in the Arab
historiography, including the disclosure of the reasons and nature
of the Genocide by Arab researchers. According to N.Hovhannisian, the
important is the fact that Muslim Arabs have come to the conclusion,
that what happened in 1915 with Armenians was genocide organized
by Y oung Turks leadership, and it was the black page of the 20th
century. Arabs also have been under Turkish oppression for long
years and they have been aware of the Ottoman dictatorship, told
he. "Arab historians put for the first time into circulation the word
'Armenocide' (murder of Armenians), told N.Hovhanniasian. Recently
G.Sargsian wrote to the author. "It's an honor for me to have
translated that remarkable writing. That book has been given to
public officials, political figures, intellectuals. I could state,
the book has made an indelible impression on them": N.Hovhannisian
has authored more than 400 scientific writings, 100 out of them are
dedicated to the topic of the Armenian Genocide: These writings are
translated into tens of world languages, including English, French,
Russian, German, Turkish.
