The Battle of Musa Dagh

[bell-the-cat]

Can't remember where I got the scans of these photos from.
They are from the 1930s I think, from before the Turks annexed Hatay.

Monument at Musa Dag - long since demolished by the Turks.

Ceremony at the grave site.

Too bad MGM shelved the project for this film, cowering to the invisible hand of governments big and small.

Re: The Battle of Musa Dagh

Very good book, every Armenian should read it. I plan on rereading it, I read it over thirty years ago, I was able to understand a little more of the ordeals our people went through.

Re: The Battle of Musa Dagh

If every Armenian reacted like these people in Musa Dagh, now we wouldn't be here talking about a Armenian Genocide.

But then again, you had our amateur wannabe diplomats, the Dashnaks, who screwd us over with their childish tacticts. They should have armed the people or not do anything at all.
