Eugene Rogan, Director of the Middle East Centre at Oxford University, has published his latest book.

The book is entitled The Fall of the Ottomans, it is study of the First World War from the Ottoman perspective, and it has a chapter entitled, “Annihilation of the Armenians,” The Guardian reported.

‘“Annihilation of the Armenians’, for instance, will win him no friends among those Turks still in denial about the genocide, for it describes with depressing clarity the plan of Talaat Pasha, the Turkish leader, and his advisers Dr Mehmed Nazim and Dr Behaeddin Shakir: that there should be nothing less than ‘the annihilation of the vast majority of Ottoman Armenians’ in order to ensure there would not be enough of them left to fight for an independent homeland.

“Turkish authors, including the Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk, have recently faced jail on treason charges for alluding to the genocide,” The Guardian wrote, in particular.
