Abbot Matern Muret's memoirs?

[Armat]

1921 Publication in Brussels of Abbot Matern Muret's memoirs. He witnessed the Genocide of the Marash Armenians by the Turks from January 20 to February 11, 1920 as a result of French perfidy. He called the killing of 20000 Armenians during that time enough to make any human insane.

 

Sounds very interesting and yet I can't find anything on him or his memoirs.If anyone knows anything please post.Eye witness accounts are important against denialist wall.

See the book The Lions of Marash by Stanley Kerr, where the Abbot is invoked several times. He is featured in the index as Mure, Rev. Materne, the Franciscan priest, on pages- 104,116,124,164 171-72, 196

I didn’t know the book was on the internet, thank you Armat.

Here is one of those pages. The system will not allow copy and paste.

PS. There is a whole 10 page chapter in the Book Marash by Krikor kaloustian - ՀԱՅՐ ՄԱԹԵՐՆ ՄԻՒՐԷԻ ՊԱՏՄԱԾՆԵՐԸ. I have to read it in full.
