Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from At the Mercy of Turkish Brigands Of all the peoples known to Modern History, Armenia is the martyr nation. The decree which made Armenia nominally Christian antedated the declaration of Constantine, which made the Roman Empire professedly so, by more than a score of years. Her martyrdom is not the result of a single stroke; but a long-drawn-out series of massacres, lasting for centuries, during which time the nation has been reduced, by the Moslem sword in the hand of the Turk, from a population of thirty-five millions to - God only knows how many - perhaps a million and a half, or two millions, principally orphans, widows, and cripples, with no place or spot on earth which they dare call their very own. The fate of the "Armenian Republic," whose boundaries were tentatively provided for by the Treaty of Versailles, is yet in the balance. Four things may be enumerated as causes for Turkish jealousy and hatred of the Armenians: their ability to acquire education, their aptness in business, their ambition for a national existence, and their religion. The latter, in particular, gave cause for repeated massacres, while the pretext, in some instances, was something else. Thus Moslem zeal, hate, and fanaticism took their toll of Armenian Christians. It is in the interior of this land of Turkish tyranny that the plot of this book is laid - not the plot of a fictitious story, but the geography of the tragic, historical events described.
