Stories about survivors of the Armenian Genocide have been compiled in a new book to be published in Turkey
The 47 stories inside the book – which were collected as part of the “Turk Who Saved Me” project supported by the U.K. Foreign and Commonwealth Office and realized by the Armenia-based Armedia Agency and the European Integration Non-Governmental Organization – are presented in the words of the survivors with minimal editing, bilingual Turkish-Armenian newspaper Agos has reported.
The book has been translated into Armenian, English and Turkish, and will be distributed free of charge as part of the project.
Lilit Gasparian, who translated the book into Turkish, said they had selected 47 stories for publication but received many more after initially calling for contributions.
“We deliver the verified, real stories of the people who survived the genocide thanks to the efforts of their Turkish neighbors, friends or ordinary Turks,” said Gasparian.
Journalist Aris Nalcı, who coordinated the project, said similar projects also needed to be conducted in Turkey.
