TENAFLY, N.J.-On April 13, the Knights and Daughters of Vartan will
honor Hasan Cemal, the grandson of Young Turk Party leader Jemal Pasha,
at St. Thomas Armenian Church in Tenafly. Cemal, a journalist, scholar,
and author, will be presented with the National Award Banquet. The
evening will also serve as an opportunity to introduce his new book
titled, 1915: Armenian Genocide.
Hasan Cemal 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, which will take place in Saddler Hall of St. Thomas
Armenian Church, located at 9W and East Clinton Avenue in Tenafly,
will begin with a cocktail hour at 7 p.m., followed by dinner at 8
p.m. Donation is $125 per person. Limited seating is available. For
reservations, call Sona at (201) 746-0409, Nurhan at (201) 507-3301,
or Hirant at (212) 764-8730.
