Bliss Fresno, California Meshag publishing 1982 1 vol. (574 p.) 21 cm A detailed account by an American missionary born in Turkey in the 1894-1896 massacre of more than 200,000 Armenians, at the order of Sultan Abdul Hamid. This massacre was the prelude to the Armenian Genocide in 1915. The author's region-by-region, city-by-city description of the killings was paralleled 20 years later in more devastating terms by Lord Bryce and Arnold Toynbee in the British government's collection of documents from 1915-1916 — The Treatment of the Armenians in the Ottoman Empire. One portion of the book also deals with the formal creation of the Armenian Question, beginning with the Congress of Berlin in 1878. Bliss concludes that a major factor for the atrocities against the Armenians was the Turkish desire to crush the only Christian group which appeared to have any chance of asserting itself against the Muslim overlords of Anatolia. Bliss also concludes that the government of Constantinople was responsible for the massacres. 027486699 53 Question arménienne rameau 027851354 674 Arméniens, Massacres des (1894-1896) rameau Bliss Edwin M 070 Abes 20080318 AFNOR BN 19990127 AFNOR 345 MCAD MCAD Salle de lecture GENETUBLIS51982 GEN ETU BLIS ԲԼԻ 5.1982 0 LIVR
