PanARMENIAN.Net - The Armenian Genocide was the topic of a recent
talk at St. Mark Armenian Church on Wilbraham Road in Springfield,
Massachusetts, masslive.com reports.
Hosted by the church, which has its own memorial stone to those who
died in the Genocide, the presentation by Shahkeh Yaylaian Setian
dealt with a little discussed aspect of that genocide - Muslim Turks
who put their lives at risk to rescue Christian Armenians.
Setian grew up in the Whitinsville section of Northbridge and the
Indian Orchard neighborhood of Springfield, speaking Armenian as her
first language. She moved to Wilbraham after her marriage and now
makes her home on Cape Cod. She holds a doctorate in education from
the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and is author of the book
"Humanity In The Midst of Inhumanity," a collection of interviews
with Armenians who were rescued by Turks.
