| Summary |
"Armenia and the War" by A. P. Hacobian is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the plight of the Armenian people during World War I, presenting their suffering and struggles under the Ottoman Empire's brutal regime. The author, an Armenian himself, emphasizes the urgent need for justice and reparation for his people, and he appeals directly to British public opinion in hopes that their suffering will not be overlooked in the post-war peace discussions. The opening of the book establishes a compelling narrative, detailing the horrific experiences faced by Armenians under Turkish rule, particularly from 1915 onwards when systematic massacres and deportations took place. Hacobian articulates the inherent dangers posed to Armenians and the larger implications of their suffering amidst war, positioning their tragic martyrdom as a significant moment calling for international awareness and intervention. The author argues that the historical injustices faced by Armenians must be addressed in discussions of peace, highlighting the moral responsibility of the Allied nations to protect the rights and future of his beleaguered countrymen.
