Publishing Circle Writings Caucasians just published the book-testimony “the Assyrian-Chaldeans and Armenians massacred by the Turks” Naayem Joseph (1888-1964), a key eyewitness to the Assyrian-Chaldean and Armenian Genocide.
Below editors note: “Of the three oldest indigenous Christian peoples of Asia Minor, Armenian, Greek and Assyrian-Chaldean, who, during the First World War, suffered a genocide in the true sense of the term, hatched and executed by the young Turk regime in the Ottoman empire, completed by their ideological heirs Kemalists in 1919-1923 and endorsed by the infamous Treaty of Lausanne of 1924, the Assyrian-Chaldean, the less numerous and less protected is one whose tragedy remains the most misunderstood.
Yet the rare testimony of Joseph Naayem should, by 1920, raise the indignation of the victorious powers, countless existing evidence of commitment on the Allied side of this small nation isolated, defenseless and surrounded by enemies secular jurors . The same enemies who, taking advantage of the chaos in Iraq and Syria since the 1990s, got down to the elimination of this people, once again under the eyes of the civilized world, who consider him a Christian minority that can be transplanted in Europe or North America, to save and ensure its sustainability. As was done for the Armenian and Greek survivors of Asia Minor … Oblivious to his cultural roots, the West has much wrong to believe, as the recent bloody events on the ground prove it, away from the savage monsters which itself has tolerated the existence and nurtured ambitions in Iraq and Syria, as he had tolerated the existence of the Young Turks in the early 20th century, who thanked him with a World war which commemorates the centenary, which contained the seeds of the second … This reissue includes -in addition the foreword of Joseph Yacoub, Professor Emeritus of the Catholic University of Lyon, specializing in the world’s minorities and Christians in East, author of “Who will remember? “And” Forgotten all »Editions du Cerf -those of Lord Bryce, RP Gabriel Oussani and two additional chapters translated from English absent from the 1920 edition.”
The book will be presented by the editor Hrach Petrosian in many cities in France, on November 18 in Valence (Drôme) by the association “Arménia”.
