    AUTHOR HOPES TO MITIGATE PREJUDICE AGAINST MUSLIMS IN NEW BOOK ON ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

    The Armenian Genocide, the Holocaust and subsequent genocides are
    tragic events that should be forever remembered, reads a press
    release by the publisher published on PRWeb.com, promoting author
    Dr. Shahkeh Yaylaian Setian's newly published book Humanity in the
    Midst of Inhumanity, which tells the stories of 16 descendants of
    survivors saved by Muslims who defied government orders and saved
    Armenians during the Armenian Genocide of 1915.

    "In recognizing the brave actions of these noble Muslims, she hopes
    to mitigate the unjust prejudice against all Muslims. She describes
    the geo-political situation of the Genocide times and other issues
    of interest, such as the betrayal of Armenians by the 1923 Lausanne
    Treaty which did not mention Armenia nor the Armenian massacres,
    essentially rewarding the perpetrators of the Genocide with the land
    of the victims. The omission of fairly settling the Armenian issue
    was in order for allies to control the oil wealth in the region.

    "Despite the threat by the government that anyone who helped an
    Armenian would have their house burned down, their family killed in
    front of them, and then he/she would be killed, these brave rescuers
    acted bravely out of their humanity... Setian describes the after
    effects of the Armenian Genocide in its manifestations on individual
    lives, the Armenian community, and the political structures and
    actions of world powers, especially in America. Dr. Setian [would
    like to]... illustrate that those who were tortured and murdered
    were not simply numbers reported in statistics, but were living,
    breathing children, women and men," reads the press release.
