A new book presenting another proof of the historic fact of the Armenian Genocide has been published.

“The memoirs of Alec Glen, a British army doctor of the 1914-18 war – written privately for his sons, but published by his family – which record the further agony of the Armenians,” journalist Robet Fisk writes in his article published by The Independent.

Robet Fisk recalls that Turkey is preparing to smother the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire by holding celebrations of their victory at Canakkale (Gallipoli).

“But each month brings yet further proof – in the testimony of Westerners – of what Turkey still officially denies: that the genocide of the Armenians was a fact of history,” Fisk says.

The book entitled In the Front Line: A Doctor in War and Peace includes the facts about several thousand Armenian refugees.

“It was an amazing and tragic sight … now and then we passed at a roadside a dying person, or one already dead and half-eaten by dogs and jackals… we lifted some of the younger ones who might recover on to the mules and carried them forward to the next village,” Glen writes.

“Salisbury Craig [a fellow British doctor] told me later that he attended an old refugee in the road who, before he died, gave him a leather belt full of sovereigns, which he asked him to spend to help the refugees.”
