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.
