Bravo, Akcam, and thank you for your perseverance and diligence in this much needed field of research. Please be safe.
We can all support the dissemination of the important information in this book by cutting out this article in AW, and taking it to both our local and university libraries, and asking them to please buy at least one copy. Or, simply copy this page and email it to them with your request. All publicly funded libraries are interested in buying books that win awards, but you have to ask for them. Turks make sure that public libraries are filled with their denialist propaganda. Here is a Turk who has the courage to stand up and speak the truth. We need to support him. And his work needs to be in our libraries. It is the only way we can counter the propaganda of the perpetrators of the Armenian Genocide. Taner has a readable style of writing that makes his work accessible to both the general public and scholars. I bet the Genocide deniers hate it whenever he publishes another book.
Congratulations Mr Akcam (and happy birthday today 23 Oct!) for this award. I tried to order this book via Amazon UK and it was not available or heard of. Please advise how I could get a copy. Thank you.
Bagratuni; order it from the publisher. They will ship internationally. My university ordered a copy with no problems. It’s worth waiting for.
Taner Bey merhabalar,
Sizi McClathy’nin Orta Doğu Büro Şefi Roy Gutman adına rahatsız ediyorum. Türkiye’de açık olan 1915 arşivleriyle ilgili sormak istediğimiz birkaç detay var.
Size ulaşabileceğim bir telefon numarası var mı acaba?
