Hayruni reconstructs Johannes Lepsius's resistance to the Armenian Genocide. In summer 1915 Lepsius travelled to Constantinople, gathered materials on the events, and met Ottoman War Minister Enver: failing to dissuade him. Returning to Berlin and finding the German government unwilling to obstruct its ally despite exact knowledge of the extermination policy, he tried to mobilize the two large German churches to pressure the government, also without success; in October 1915 Berlin imposed public and press silence on the Armenian situation, and the churches complied. Lepsius alone refused, breaking with the German Orient Mission he had founded, and privately printed and distributed his confidential report on the situation of the Armenian people to Protestant congregations and Reichstag deputies. He then went into exile in the Netherlands and continued relief work.
Sukiasyan reconstructs Hasanchelebi as a principal killing station on the Sebastia (Sivas) deportation routes, where deported Armenian men from Sebastia and surrounding regions were systematically exterminated. Drawing on Armenian survivor testimonies corroborated by Ottoman documents, he traces the phases of atrocity — from the plunder and abuse of women to the mass arrest and execution of men — and argues for the distinctive evidentiary value of Armenian-language sources in documenting the machinery of the genocide.
At independence the Republic of Armenia believed it had reliable British backing and expected diplomatic and military support from the victorious Allies in settling its borders and securing its sovereignty. The authors argue those hopes were unfounded and that Allied statements were purely declarative. The Allies entered the Caucasus for their own reasons and left for their own reasons, abandoning Armenia at its most difficult moment. With no Allied willingness to help resolve territorial questions by force, the government attempted to act alone, which led to the Turkish-Armenian war and the destruction of the First Republic in December 1920. The study works through the Sèvres framework, the capitulation, and the Treaty of Alexandropol.
Tests the terminology used to describe Azerbaijan's 2020–2023 depopulation of Nagorno-Karabakh's indigenous Armenians ('genocide,' 'ethnic cleansing,' 'forced displacement,' 'voluntary exodus') against international law. Reviews the hard and hybrid coercive methods Azerbaijan used and concludes the de-Armenization constitutes ethnic cleansing and legally meets most genocide criteria, while noting a formal genocide claim is politically fraught. The author is a PhD researcher at Sorbonne Nouvelle.
Marutyan examines historical novels, autobiographical fiction and prose published in Soviet Armenia during and after the Great Patriotic War in which the Armenian Genocide was depicted in realistic and grim colors. He shows these works portrayed not only Turkish and Kurdish atrocities but also justified attention to German participation in the Genocide, and in some cases attacked European bourgeois diplomacy for obstructing a solution to the Armenian Question. Many of the texts also carry obligatory praise of the Soviet order and of Stalin. The study covers Gegham Saryan, Garnik Stepanyan, Hrachya Kochar, Kristapor Tapaltsyan, Onik Panikyan and Paruyr Sevak.
