Turkish General Staff publishes Russian officers book about Armenians
Ankara, 24 March: The Turkish General Staff published the journal of
a Russian lieutenant colonel, who witnessed the Armenian violence at
the Eastern Front during World War I.
The book titled "I witnessed and lived through" consists of the
memoirs of Russian Lt-Col Tverdokhlebov, who was the commander of the
2nd Armenian-Russian Fortress Artillery Regiment in eastern province
of Erzurum during the war, between late 1917 and early 1918.
While explaining the Armenian atrocity and massacres, the Russian
soldier describes Armenians as an "incapable, parasite and greedy
nation that can live only at another nation's expense".
The book, which was published in English, French and its original
language Russian, was placed on the General Staff's website as well.
The General Staff stressed on the website that the "Russian soldier's
book could be the best answer to Armenian allegations".
