expert on the Armenian Genocide will give lectures in Armenian Genocide
Museum Institute, Yerevan, from May 5 to 7.

languages, including German, English, French, Turkish, Ottoman Turkish
and Armenian; he has researched archives of different countries,
and extensively studied materials in various languages in a way that
very few, if anyone has done before him. He was awarded an honorary
doctorate degree for his research in the field of Armenian Genocide
Studies by the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia, and
later, in 1998, he was made a member of the Academy and honored by

as director of a large Genocide study project, which culminated with
the publication of articles, mainly in the Holocaust and Genocide

While Dadrian's specialization is genocide in general, most of his
study concerns the Armenian Genocide, even though he has publications
regarding such cases as the Holocaust and the destruction of the
American Indians.

Courts-Martial of 1919-20 from Ottoman Turkish to English.
He is the author of the books "German Responsibility in the Armenian
Genocide", "History of the Armenian Genocide: ethnic conflicts from
