Collection of digital photos on Genocide prepared

PanARMENIAN.Net - The Armenian Assembly of America, Armenian National Institute and Armenian Genocide Museum of America (AGMA) have prepared a collection of digital photos, maps and other documents about the Armenian Genocide.

The album mainly comprises digital photos, taken by photographers of German Empire and Austria-Hungary.

According to the director of Armenian National Institute, historian Dr. Rouben P. Adalian, the photos were mainly taken in Deir ez-Zor and in the territory of historic Armenia, particularity in the suburbs of Tigranakert, Yerznka and Erzurum.

“The fact that the photos were taken by soldiers of the allies of the Ottoman Empire makes their documentary value indisputable,” the author of the album, Mr. Adalian said.

The album is available in PDF format in the websites of Armenian Assembly of America and Armenian National Institute. According a museum trustee Van Krikorian, Armenian Americans are searching for new ways to raise awareness on Genocide ahead of the 100th anniversary of the tragedy, with new measures to be taken in the future.
