By Arto Khrimian
On Sun., Jan. 27, the New York chapter of the Hamazkayin Educational and Cultural Society held a screening in the Pashalian Hall of St. Illuminator’s Cathedral of the documentary film “Enemy of the People: Armenians Look Back at the Stalin Terror,” directed and produced by Zareh Tjeknavorian.




During the Soviet Union Stalin whom exterminated 25 million people of all ethnic nations under his control also sent thousands of Armenians to Siberia whereby up to 35,000 Armenians were killed in the late l930’s. He also, in agreement with the Turks & Azeri’s took Armenian Historic Lands such as Kars & Ardahan to the Turks, Nakhichevan & Karabagh to the Azeri’s & Javakh to the Georgian’s thereby reducing Armenia to approximately 11,580 sqare miles. The Armenian Government is slow in not bringing these lost lands before the United Nations along with the Wilson Treaty of Sevres whereby we lost another 40,000 sq. miles of territory after Kemal Attaturk & Lenin banned together to divide our Armenian territories among the two illegal revolutionaires whom the world powers after the first world war failed to help out Christian Armenia but alowed the Turkish Moslems & the Lenin Communists to take control. Not one nation has stepped in to help Armenia.
