    The Armenian National Archive has published a three-volume edition
    "Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Turkey: Testimonies of the
    Survivors." The book presents accounts of the witnesses, valuable
    archive documents, maps and photos.

    In 1916 the Baku Committee of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation set
    up a fact-finding team to collect information about the organization
    and perpetration of the massacre of the Armenian population of
    Western Armenia.

    The fact-finding team comprised Zapel Yesayan, Stepan Zoryan, Vahan
    Totovents, Commander Andranik and others. All the documents have been
    included in the "Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Turkey: Testimonies
    of the Survivors" published at the initiative of the Armenian National
    Archive and financed by "Van" NGO."

    "The fact that the testimonies of the witnesses were collected
    just one year following the massacres ensures the authenticity and
    validity of the information, therefore strengthening their importance
    in the process of comprehensive study of the Armenian Genocide,"
    editor-in-chief of the publication, Director of the Armenian National
    Archive Amatuni Virabyan told reporters today.

    The publication presents the concert programs and actions aimed
    at annihilation of the Armenian population, the real names of the
    organizers and perpetrators. Also, the archive documents tell about
    the material losses of the Armenian population, their self-defense
    struggle, the migration of survivors and the losses incurred on
    the way.

    The three-volume edition will be translated into Turkish, Russian and
    English. The proceeds from the sale will be spent on its translation.

    The electronic version of the publication will also be available.

    Ahead of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide the National
    Archive will publish another book, which will include thousands of
    documents on the economic losses the Armenian nation has uncured.
