Secret Archive would be displayed, which would include recordings on
Armenian Genocide also.

runs Vatican Secret Archive declared documents on Armenian Genocide
would be collected in a book and published. Pagano has particularly
stated those documents cover the period of tragic events in 1894-1897.
The documents go back to 1896 when the Pope of Rome Leo the 13th
called on Turkish Sultan stop the genocide.
`Ermenihaber.am' has also revealed some documents from the secret
archive, which is available below:
Evidence by a witness from Erzrum
-I saw them killing many children...I saw my cousin Dono escaping with
the child on his shoulders. But gunfire and he fell down, the militia
killed him just in front of the little child. I saw them killing the
clergyman of the village. They've dipped in his eyes. Before killing
him, they forced him to dance.
Written evidence by Mustafa Suleyman, a Turkish militia
- We invaded into Armenian villages. We killed everybody we could find
and see irrespective of sex and age. The Kurds accompanying us were
robbing the Armenians' houses. Some were hiding in the school, but we
killed them also, because we had a command. 800 Armenians were killed
in the village. We killed Father Hovhannes, the clergyman, also. I
didn't kill a child, I've even saved 2. I was keeping them in my tent
for 3 days. But one day I found them killed.
