YEREVAN, JANUARY 29, ARMENPRESS. Turkish historian Taner Akçam’s book on the Armenian Genocide called “Killing orders” has been presented in French in Paris. ARMENPRESS reports in his Facebook post Taner Akçam assessed it a great honor that Ambassador of France to Armenia Jonathan Lacote attended the presentation. The historian told that he met the Ambassador in Yerevan in 2018.

Lacote also made a post on his Facebook page, noting “I was glad to meet Taner Akçam in Paris, who presented his book “Killing orders”. It’s about his recent research and confirms the authenticity of the Ottoman documents which are the evidence of the fact that the developments were planned by the state, which led to the genocide of the Armenian people”.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
