21:37, 13 March, 2013
YEREVAN, MARCH 13, ARMENPRESS: Hasan Cemal, the grandson of Young Turk
Party leader Jemal Pasha on April 15 will present his new book "1915:
Armenian Genocide" at St. Thomas Armenian Church in Tenafly. As reports
Armenpress, referring to The Armenian Weekly, Cemal, a journalist,
scholar, and author, will be presented with the National Award Banquet.
The book, which has become a bestseller in Turkey, presents factual
information about the Armenian Genocide and speaks about Cemal's
personal transformation-from someone who once denied the Armenian
Genocide to someone who not only recognizes it, but is willing to
risk publishing a book on his findings.
In addition to his personal story and evidence of the planned
massacres, passages from Cemal's grandfather, Jemal Pasha, one of
the masterminds behind the Armenian Genocide, are also quoted from
his own memoirs from 1919.
Cemal visited the Armenian Genocide Memorial in Yerevan five years
ago, and writes in his book, "To deny the Genocide would mean to be
an accomplice in this crime against humanity."
The banquet will take place in Saddler Hall of St. Thomas Armenian
Church.
