The book, entitled “Forcible Islamization of Armenians: Silence, Denial and Assimilation,” by prominent Turkish historian, Professor Taner Akcam, who is well known for his research on the Armenian Genocide, has been published in Turkey.  

As per Akunq.net, in the first chapter of the work, Akcam presents why and how he started to become interested in the Armenian Genocide issue and, as a result, what kind of resistance he encountered during the last thirty years.

In the second chapter, the professor reflects on the discussions that followed the publication of the memoirs of Sarkis Torossian, a decorated Ottoman-Armenian captain, most of whose family was massacred during the genocide.   

And in the last chapter of his book, Akcam analyzes the forcible assimilation of the Armenians. 

Arguing that the forcible assimilation was an integral part of the Armenian Genocide, the Turkish scholar also sheds light on why this fact was disregarded to this day.
