Hajinian, Sevan
The Armenian Genocide Denied : A Response to Turkey's Thirteen propaganda Spins
"Anyone who has followed the Armenian national struggle to earn international recognition of the Genocide of Armenians is familiar with the Ankara propaganda machines boilerplate denials. Ms. Hajinians book, in addition to documenting the Genocide, lists thirteen of the most notorious distortions deployed by the Turkish side and then proceeds to demolish them, exposing them as patent falsehoods. Thus the litany of Turkish propaganda spins such as 'historians dispute the veracity of the Genocide of Armenians" 'its up to historians to decide what happened' 'the UN didnt acknowledge the Armenian Genocide,"the Armenian Genocide was not state planned," "the Turkish archives are open; Armenian archives are not, "Armenian deaths were a result of communal violence" and "Armenians collaborated with Turkeys enemies" are dissected and tossed into the rubbish heap through solid research and a deft touch. xii,294p. illus. maps. bibliography [3 copies found in Worldcat] Book
