Reseña del editor

Setian provides stories submitted by sixteen descendants of survivors who were saved by Muslims during the 1915 Armenian Genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman Turks. She offers a corrective to mitigate the prejudice against Muslims and to uphold and to promote their dignity. She describes the geopolitical situation of the Genocide times and other issues of interest with commentary, such as the betrayal of Armenians by the 1923 Lausanne Peace Treaty, which did not mention Armenia nor the Armenian massacres. The omission of fairly settling the Armenian issue was in order for Allies to control the oil wealth in the region. "He who owns the oil will rule the world" (M. Henry Berenger, French senate, December 12, 1919). Setian graphically includes the vicious treatment of victims in order to convey the horrors committed by government officials and out of control citizens that seared the atmosphere. Noble Muslims risked their lives to save Armenians in the midst of such inhumanity.

Biografía del autor

The daughter of genocide survivors, Dr. Setian is a graduate of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. She has three children and five grandchildren and lives in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. She is sensitive to injustice and human rights violations and is dedicated to helping create a just and peaceful world. She lived for a year as an independent volunteer in solidarity with the people that she wanted to help and whom she came to love in post-war Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh), a country that was recovering from the little-known war and attempted ethnic cleansing by neighboring Azerbaijan, a Turkish cohort, against the citizens of the Armenian enclave. She taught at Springfield College, Massachusetts; Cape Cod Community College; and Artsakh State University, has facilitated workshops and presented talks about genocide, injustice, and values. She has earned awards for short stories; has had several articles published, including photojournalist newspaper articles; and coedited two volumes for the Values Realization Institute.
