The new book `Vahan Cardashian: Advocate Extraordinaire for the
Armenian Cause,’ compiled by Attorney Vartkes Yeghiayan, offers the
discriminating reader an eye-opening, jaw-dropping experience. This
work finally reveals America’s role in the Armenian Genocide. It also
exposes America’s ultimate calculated betrayal of the Armenian Cause.

Attorney Vahan Cardashian (1883-1934) was a Classical Hero who came
out of nowhere, engaged in a Sisyphean struggle against the most
powerful forces in human affairs, and paid the ultimate price by
dying young from a broken political heart. His cause in life was the
Armenian Cause, a Cause that America championed only to discard it
soon after for economic self-interests. For three decades from 1908
until his death in 1934, American Citizen and Armenian Patriot Vahan
Cardashian grappled with the most vital values and issues in the
history of humankind.

The book discloses that nine months before the Armenian Genocide
began on April 1915, the New York-based attorney sounded the
following warning in a letter to then U.S. Secretary of War the
Honorable Lindley M. Garrison:

`I have information, bearing on the program of the Turkish
Government, to be put into operation in the event of Turkey’s being
involved in the European War with reference to all the native and
foreign Christians in Turkey . . . Unless some powerful restraining
forces are brought into play from without, you can rest assured that
the Turk, with the opportunity for untrammeled action, such as he now
believes to enjoy, will perpetrate upon helpless humanity the most
ghastly horrors of his entire loathsome career.’

Cardashian’s clarion call, however, was dismissed outright. And the
rest is tragic history.
