    NEW PUBLICATION FROM CAR "RAPHAEL LEMKIN'S DOSSIER ON THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE"

    AZG Armenian Daily

    Armenian Genocide

    Raphael Lemkin was one of the greatest and most influential lawyers
    and human rights activists in the last century. Not only did he coin
    the word "genocide," but was also the prime mover for the enactment
    of the United Nations Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of
    Genocide (the "Genocide Convention"), the international law document
    that in 1948 made genocide an international "crime of crimes."

    Distressed by the cyclical slaughter of Armenians by Turks in 1894,
    1909, and 1915, Lemkin compiled a dossier and searched for legal
    remedies to punish perpetrators of mass murder and to deter and
    prevent future genocides.

    "Raphael Lemkin's Dossier on the Armenian Genocide," a stunningly
    graphic book published by CAR.,the Center for Armenian Remembrance,
    constitutes an important contribution for scholars, human rights
    activists and others seeking to know what the originator of the term
    genocide and the "father" of the Genocide Convention had to say about
    the Armenian Genocide.

    This timely book, which was published through the efforts of Attorney
    Vartkes Yeghiayan, is the perfect antidote to the denialist campaign
    that has lately intensified by the banning of a book in Toronto and
    its replacement by books by denialist historians Bernard Lewis and
    Guenther Levy.

    It is impossible not to be touched by the eyewitness reports that
    Lemkin has meticulously compiled in this dossier. The reader will
    quickly be convinced that the brutal campaign against the Armenians
    is the very definition of Genocide. This book has the power to inflame
    the reader with indignation, sorrow and righteous anger.

    "Raphael Lemkin's Dossier on the Armenian Genocide" also contains
    a lucid foreword by eminent professor Michael J. Bazyler, and a
    meticulous, complete bibliography on Lemkin by Eddie Yeghiayan.

    "Raphael Lemkin's Dossier on the Armenian Genocide" is the fifth book
    in the "The Armenian Genocide and the Armenian Case" series put out by
    CAR Publishing. It can be purchased at CAR Publishing P.O.Box 250322
    Glendale, Ca 91225 USA, www.centerar.org , and Armenian bookstores.
