YEREVAN, OCTOBER 23, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. The book entitled
"Kurdistan during World War I and Armenian Genocide" was translated
from Kurdish into Persian. The book written by Kurd historian
Kamal Mazhar Ahmad was translated by Rauf Kyarim, as well a Kurd
by origin. According to the "Alik" daily, the documentary work is
valuable especially in the sense that its author is a Kurd, the book
gives new documentary information to the readers about the Armenian
Genocide. New facts appear concerning the Turky's anti-Armenian policy,
when the book author uncover the young Turks' genocide programs and
goals impartially and based on true bases, which, in words of Kamal
Mazhar Ahmad, always attempted to ascribe their own sin to Kurds,
to spread enmity among the latters and Armenians.

Very interesting, Joseph. Thank you.

You're welcome Yavrum. It seems to be the trned lately that educated Kurds are starting to step up to their responsibility regarding theur role in the genocide. I'm certain we will see more books like this in the future.

What I'm seeing just by reading all the Turkish posters here as well, is the Turkish government is still trying as hard as ever to be in denial of any culpability to the massacres and subsequent genocide that their own government at the time perpetrated. Using religion, they sent out religious orders that all Turks could by religious law kidnap Armenian girls for their harems. This happened in my own family and how many countless others? So many that I read about it's impossible to deny it. The Kurds were used as their henchmen. The blame rests squarely on the Turkish government shoulders and they don't like that.

The Germans also had a hand in encouraging the Turks with regards to the relgious war aspect. You should check out this book "Like Hidden Fire" by Peter Hopkirk

THIS SEEMS VERY-VERY IMPORTANT. Thank you so much to have pointed this book.

We must find it with the original cover in Persian and take a photo to make a JPG. With such a JPG, this will have an important pyschological and cultural impact on Arabs and Kurds of France.

Thank you again. Nil.
