Also, when was the book copyrighted? Who holds the copyright?

I don't even know if it is.

P.S. I think the "Book Reviews and Articles" Forum is a better fit for this topic. I'm moving there...

Who's the author, maybe you can send a letter request.

I have a book that my father gave me on the Armenians of Kilis, located in what is now the Kilis Province of Turkey. The book was published in Beirut in 1969 and is quite detailed. In addition to the history of Kilis (until 1968) it contains things like anecdotes, proverbs, loanwords from Armenian into the Turkish spoken by the inhabitants of Kilis, a count of how many Armenian people with origins in Kilis were living in the world at the time (9,470 in 1968), as well as short biographies of prominent Kilis Armenians living in the Armenian SSR, Lebanon, and Syria.

I want to translate parts of the book into English and put it up here (since I don't have the time or money to maintain a website). I only hope I won't be violating any copyright laws...
