PanARMENIAN.Net - Glendale Public Library will host a lecture and book
signing, with Vahakn N. Dadrian, internationally-renowned expert on
the Armenian Genocide, on April 3, 2012.
Vahakn N. Dadrian's field of specialization is genocide, in general,
and the Armenian Genocide, in particular. For several years he was
engaged as director of a large Genocide Study Project sponsored by
the H. F. Guggenheim Foundation. The project's first major achievement
was the publication of an extensive volume titled The History of the
Armenian Genocide: Ethnic Conflict from the Balkans to Anatolia to the
Caucasus. His extensive list of publications includes several articles
on the Jewish Holocaust and the victimization of the American Indians.
In 2005, he received four separate awards for his lifetime contribution
to genocide studies. Dadrian is currently the director of genocide
research at the Zoryan Institute.
Judgment at Istanbul: The Armenian Genocide Trials is a prime source
of legal evidence and authentic Turkish eyewitness testimony of the
intent and the crime of genocide against the Armenians. These documents
show that Wartime Cabinet ministers, Young Turk party leaders, and
a number of others incriminated in these crimes were court-martialed
by the Turkish Military Tribunals in the years immediately following
World War I. Most were found guilty and received sentences ranging
from prison with hard labor to death. In remarkable contrast to
Nuremberg, the Turkish Military Tribunals were conducted solely on
the basis of existing Ottoman domestic penal codes. This compilation
is significantly enhanced by an extensive analysis of the historical
background, political nature and legal implications of the criminal
prosecution of the twentieth century's first state-sponsored crime
of genocide against the Armenians.
