YEREVAN.- This May Armenia’s national archive will publish three-volume book of recollections of the Armenian Genocide witnesses, head of archive Amatuni Virabyan told journalists on Monday.  

The book will feature memories of the witnesses of the 1915-16 events in the Ottoman Empire.

“The figures [1.5 million] cannot fully describe the fate of people. But if we show how 50 families lost their lives, the book will disclose much more for the reader,” he said.

The stories will be united under the title “Eternal story” (Mshtapatum).

“We wanted to prepare publication for the 100 anniversary of the Armenian Genocide in 2015 but we were surprise to receive support of the compatriots living in Moscow. Due to their assistance, the project will be completed this year,” Virabyan said.

Virabyan said the publication of archives will continue. The reports of diplomats and news articles of that time will be published.
