Is this book available in an English translation?
Well done.
I wanted to find the book in English, so I googled it by title. I found several links, including a Wikipedia entry! So it does exist in English. I’m glad to know about this scholarship, and I’m impressed that it will be read in Turkey. I wonder what will happen, now that the denial is getting harder to sustain. All those Turks in Germany are learning about the Holocaust, and because Germany is examining its history even more, the role Germany played in the Genocide is coming out — and the fact of the Genocide is widely accepted in Germany and therefore unavoidable for the Turks there. And the truth can’t be hidden any longer.
Is the book published by the American University of Armenian available, and if so how can one order/buy it? (2007)
There’s a similar book translated from French to English: The Amiras: Lords of Ottoman Armenia: Pascal Carmont.
