    "AGONY OF A PEOPLE" GENOCIDE SURVIVOR BOOK RELEASED IN FRANCE

    June 1, 2013 - 12:23 AMT

    PanARMENIAN.Net - Hayg Toroyan's Agony of a People (L'Agonie d'un
    people) book, written following the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman
    Empire was released in France, Nouvelles d'Armenie said.

    A Genocide survivor, Hayg Toroyan had traveled on the Euphrates all
    the way down from Jerablus (north of today's Syria) to Bagdad, as
    the assistant and interpreter of a German officer, Otto Olmann, from
    November 1915 to January 1916. Together they had seen one after the
    other the newly established concentration camps alongside the river.

    Hayg Toroyan told his story to Zabel Essayan, the most distinguished
    female writer among Armenians at that time, who had herself escaped
    from the round-up of intellectuals in Istanbul in April 1915. She
    transcribed and wrote down Toroyan's narrative. Zabel Essayan spent
    the years 1916-1918 translating survivors' narratives into French.

    Agony of a People is authored by Dr. Marc Nichanian who holds a Ph.D.

    in Mathematics and a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of
    Strasbourg.
