    ARMENIA, JUSTICE, GENOCIDE AND RELIGION
    Harry Hagopian

    Armenia is an independent country that used to be part of the USSR. It
    is located in the southern Caucasus and borders Iran and Turkey as
    well as Georgia and Azabaijan. It therefore sits in the midst of a
    range of national, political, socio-cultural and religious identities
    of geo-political significance.

    But it is, equally, constituted by a diaspora, a reality that includes
    many people dispersed across the world, and it is a people who seek
    to live towards the future with an awareness of a horrific past -
    the genocide of 1915-23.

    In this podcast, available here on Ekklesia - by arrangement from,
    and in association with, Premier Christian Radio - a leading legal,
    political and ecumenical Christian consultant (himself from an
    Armenian Orthodox background) explores the 'hidden story' of a people,
    illustrating why it is of crucial significance for human flourishing
    in the 21st century.

    This programme was originally broadcast on PCR, with interviewer
    Andy Walton, close to the official annual anniversary of the Armenian
    genocide (http://www.ekklesia.co.uk/tags/3873) on 24 April 2010.
