Witnesses and testimonies of the Armenian genocide information
Overview of testimonies and the witnesses of the Armenian genocide
An exhibition dedicated to the witnesses of the genocide at the genocide museum in Yerevan.
"It may look amazing, but the reality that what happened in 1915 was a mass murder was accepted by everybody having lived in that period, and was never the object of an argument."
Taner Akçam[1]
Witnesses and testimony provide an important and valuable insight into the events which occurred both during and after the Armenian genocide. The Armenian genocide was prepared and carried out by the Ottoman government in 1915 as well as in the following years. As a result of the genocide, as many as 1.5 million Armenians who were living in their ancestral homeland (at that time it was a part of the Ottoman Empire) were deported and murdered.
A number of journalists, diplomats, soldiers, physicians, writers, and missionaries witnessed the Armenian genocide,[2] with hundreds of these witnesses from various European countries (Germany, Austria, Italy) and the United States experiencing the events firsthand. These witnesses have provided testimonies that are highly valued by historians as reliable reports of the tragedy.[3][4][5] The eyewitness accounts of non-Armenian diplomats, missionaries and others provide significant evidence about the events and particularly the systematic nature of the deportations and subsequent massacres.[6]
