GOMIDAS INSTITUTE RELEASES NEW BOOK ON GERMAN INVOLVEMENT IN ARMENIAN

GENOCIDE

 

LONDON, January 19 (Noyan Tapan). The "Gomidas" Institute of London

released a anew book on the German involvement in the 1915 Armenian

Genocide in the "Garod House" publishing house. The author of the book

entitled "Eberhard Count Wolffskeel Von Reichenberg, Zeitoun, Mousa

Dagh, Ourfa: Letters on the Armenian Genocide" is Dr. Hilmar Kaiser, a

German historian specializing in late Ottoman social and economic

history and the Armenian Genocide of 1915. His publications include

Imperialism, Racism and Development Theories: The Construction of a

Dominant Paradigms on Ottoman Armenians (Gomidas Institute, 1997); At

the Crossroads of Der Zor: Death, Survival, and Humanitarian

Resistance in Aleppo, 1915-1917 [2nd Edition] (Gomidas Institute,

2002); Harry Sturmer, Two War Years in Constantinople Sketches of

German and Young Turkish Ethics and Politics [Revised and Complete

Edition (Hilmar Kaiser ed. and intro.) (Sterndale Classics, 2004);

Abram I. Elkus, the Memoirs of Abram Elkus: Lawyer, Ambassador,

Statesman (Gomidas Institute, 2004). Eberdard Von Wolffskeel was the

only German officer who served in Ottoman uniform known to have been

directly involved in the killing of Armenians. He personally led the

attack on the Armenian quarter of Ourfa, and showed exceptional zeal

when doing so. He was a callous man, and a racist, and took great

pride in his military prowess and his lack of compassion for Armenian

victims. His involvement in crushing the Armenian resistance in Ourfa

- when this community's turn came to be deported and destroyed - makes

particularly disturbing reading. His letters to his wife provide us

with invaluable insights into the Armenian Genocide and German policy

in 1915.

What does the German involvement in the Armenian Genocide prove? It's just an opportunity for Turks to throw their crimes on someone else.

It show that the genocide was more premedited than it was previously claimed.

 

Imagine now, how much the genocide was premedited, to a point that even Ottoman allies had a share in this. I don't think this take the blame away from the perpetratorsm it just show that there was a real cases of premeditation.
