Yerevan /Mediamax/. The Zoryan Institute announced that English edition of “The Armenian Genocide: Evidence from the German Foreign Office Archives, 1915-1916”, compiled and edited by Wolfgang Gust, has been released by Berghahn Books.

It contains hundreds of telegrams, letters and reports from German consular officials in the Ottoman Empire to the Foreign Office in Berlin which describe in graphic and shocking detail the unfolding genocide of the Armenians.

“The documents provide unequivocal evidence of the genocidal intent of the Young Turks and the German government’s official acquiescence and complicity. The exceptional importance of these documents is underscored by the fact that only German diplomats and military officials were able to send uncensored reports out of Turkey during World War I. Apart from the Americans, who remained neutral in the war until April 6, 1917, German diplomats and their informants from the missions or employees of the Baghdad Railway were the most important non-Armenian eyewitnesses of the Genocide. These documents, meant strictly for internal use and never intended for publication, are remarkable for their candid revelations”, Zoryan Institute said in a press release.

The Zoryan Institute is a non-profit, international center devoted to the research and documentation of contemporary issues with a focus on Genocide, Diaspora and Homeland.
