It was wonderful to hear Ara Sarafian talk about the newly translated book Van 1915, which is one of the last remaining bastians of arguments for Turkish Denialist historians. #archive#historylessons#Armenia
the more we research, the more we understand that we have to be very critical of our sources and present a true picture of the #ArmenianGenocide, not a politicised fabricated one made for propoganda.
we need to be honest and critical of our history if we want reconcilliation and peace. The honest truth is many want to remain divided. We hope to tackle these issues #1915
We want our play to offer reconcilliation for all those affected by the massacres. This means TURKS, KURDS, ASSYIRANS, AZERI'S as well as armenians. Join us, for peace.
Amongst all the political theatre, the Syrian civilians have been degraded to second-class citizens of the world. Doesn't look too dissimilar to pre-genocide Anatolia. #syria#historylessons#armeniangenocide
