  1. This is chilling.

    I am very impressed with the author. There are only a handful of people left in the world who can read Ottoman Turkish. And he uses this skill in service of justice for Armenians. A truly remarkable man.

  2. Hurts every time reading a story like this one.
    Leaves me with no words except to share the grief this brings me.

  3. I wonder how many thousands of such documents have been destroyed by Turkish government and how many more have been hidden.
    Someone should deliver a copy to Erdogan’s doorstep.

  4. Unfortunately Turkey’s young population can not read and write Arabic alphabets.They rely solely on Turkish government fake archives and news. When Turkish nationals are out of country, and hear abort Ottomans committed Genocide against their Christian population, all of sudden they become professional deniers of Armenian Genocide!

  5. Thanks for these remarkable documents. This is an excellent job, especially when you see a very young and highly educated historian behind this. We need a new and educated generation who are dealing with the history. I will congratulate this young man for his work.Ari jan, keep up the good work!

    • (Speaking as someone from the new generation) The problem is that our parents all want us to be doctors, lawyers, engineers, businesspeople. They do not want us to spend years learning to read Ottoman Turkish and doing the other necessary work to fight for our cause, because that work does not come with a steady paycheck. I highly commend organizations like AGBU, ARS and others who offer scholarships for students doing Armenian studies.

  6. One day.. One day we will get justice and we will soon we have to be strong and keep up the great work our people are doing for us

  7. Vahagn Dadrian, an expert in Genocide Studies, thoroughly scrutinized the British archives and discovered a number of important facts, related with the origination of the aforementioned document, and published the text of the “10 Commandments”. See in Vahakn N. Dadrian, The Secret Young-Turk Ittihadist Conference and the Decision for the World War I Genocide of the Armenians, Holocaust Genocide Studies (1993) 7 (2): 173-201.

  8. You are truly a man of courage and a good man to say the least God bless you in your endeavors. I have 2 or 3 magazines of my grandfathers who was a writer in the old country and saw the writing on the wall went underground then left to America I have just those 2 or 3 magazines I cant read or speak Armenian anymore my mom speaks and cant read it if anyone is interested in somehow transulating them or seeing if there is anything worth transulating let me know my e-mail is known of course by this publication and The magazines are early 1900 I would assume they were of some importance as thats the only thing he brought from old country I am in California Riverside to be exact
