The Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute's director on Saturday gave the
names and spoke of the activities of doctors killed during World War I
massacres in the Ottoman Empire as he delivered a lecture at the
Yerevan State Medical University.
Hayk Demoyan said that the records available in the Museum's archives
have crossed the boundary of 90,000. "We double the collection in four
years with original materials," he told the participants.
Demoyan spoke of the Armenian hospitals operating in different world
countries and the the different medical publications printed in that
period.
He showed the participants photos of the Young Turks who had
complicity in the Genocide.
"Most of the Young Turks were servicemen, but the majority of them
were military doctors. Their victim had to by all means be targeted
and labeled. In case of the Armenians, they put into circulation
[phrases like] 'The Armenians are microbes', 'The Armenians are rats
spreading diseases', and 'The Armenians are bacteria'. They used those
wordings when targeting the Armenians," Demoyan added.
He then introduced the photo of Behadim Shakir, a Turkish criminal who
wrote the book "How to Eliminate Infants with Inborn Disorders" and
later gave it as a gift to Grigor Zohrab, an influential Western
Armenian writer who also fell victim to the Genocide. "What an irony
of fate!" Demoyan said.
At the end of the lecture, the Genocide Museum-Institute's director
was declared an honorable member of the Healthcare Organizers'
Association.
