Tens of thousand of documents, presenting the history of the Armenian
Genocide of 1915-1922 will be published ahead of the 100th anniversary
of the Genocide, Director of the Armenian National Archive Amatuni
Virabyan told reporters today.
The National Archive holds the testimonies of about 1 000 witnesses,
presenting the details of the crimes perpetrated in their homes,
the whole mechanism of the Armenian Genocide. They will be published
in three volumes. The books will later be translated into English,
Russian and other languages and will be accessible on the Internet.
The National Archive will next publish the 29 000 documents collected
by the commission established thanks to Hovhannes Tumanyan's efforts.
These present the testimonies of Armenian refugees, who told about
the human and material losses starting from 1918. The total sum would
make $25 billion today.
Amatuni Virabyan is confident that these documents will contribute to
the international recognition of the Armenian Genocide. Director of the
Armenian National Archive says the international community will be more
inclined to recognize the Armenian Genocide, when it learns about the
history of slain families and reads the testimonies of the survivers.
