The massacre of Armenians that occurred in northern Persia in 1918 was a
continuation of the Armenian Genocide, which began in 1915 in the
Ottoman Empire. The aim of this book is to commemorate the 101
years of this forgotten massacre and remembering the victims. The book
contains the words and the stories of the 27 survivors of this massacre that took
place in the cities of Khoy, Salmas, Urmia, Maku, Gharadagh and many of the
surrounding villages. This book contains the words and the stories of the
survivors of this massacre. The author’s grandmother, Arousiak, and mother,
Liana, were the sole survivors of the massacre that took place in the city of
Khoy, Persia (now Iran), in 1918.
