- Interview with Mr. Movses Haneshanyan, 103 years old, survivor of the Armenian Genocide
On the eve of World War I, there were two million Armenians in the declining Ottoman Empire. By 1922, there were fewer than 400,000. The others - some 1.5 million - were killed in what historians consider a genocide.
As David Fromkin put it in his widely praised history of World War I and its aftermath, "A Peace to End All Peace": "Rape and beating were commonplace. Those who were not killed at once were driven through mountains and deserts without food, drink or shelter. Hundreds of thousands of Armenians eventually succumbed or were killed ."
The man who invented the word "genocide"- Raphael Lemkin, a lawyer of Polish-Jewish origin - was moved to investigate the attempt to eliminate an entire people by accounts of the massacres of Armenians. He did not, however, coin the word until 1943, applying it to Nazi Germany and the Jews in a book published a year later, "Axis Rule in Occupied Europe."
The roots of the genocide lie in the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.
The empire's ruler was also the caliph, or leader of the Islamic community. Minority religious communities, like the Christian Armenians, were allowed to maintain their religious, social and legal structures, but were often subject to extra taxes or other measures.
Concentrated largely in eastern Anatolia, many of them merchants and industrialists, Armenians, historians say, appeared markedly better off in many ways than their Turkish neighbors, largely small peasants or ill-paid government functionaries and soldiers.
At the turn of the 20th Century, the once far-flung Ottoman empire was crumbling at the edges, beset by revolts among Christian subjects to the north - vast swaths of territory were lost in the Balkan Wars of 1912-13 - and the subject of coffee house grumbling among Arab nationalist intellectuals in Damascus and elsewhere.

The man is not saying Bursa. Bursa is in Turkey. He is saying Port Said, the Armenians of Musa Ler or Musa Dagh were taken to Port Said, Egypt.
Yes indeed we know the whole history , they were deported to Port Said in Eygpt ,
all the Armenians of his generation say the same; French treason , they
formed an Army of Armenians to liberate Cilicia -Kilikia and creat a french
Armenian protectotat ; at the last moment they abondened the project and
offered Kilikia- Cilicia- Iskanadarona from Syria to the turkey of attaturk.
God bless those Arabs that saved Armenians.
BLESS YOUR SOUL.
Моя ьабушка тоже это прошла😢
I'm armenian and it's a little difficult for me to understand him
He's speaking west Armenian
some words like kurdish ... he uses for liberat as azad . azad means libert in kurdish
asad or azat means free in Armenian
Azad is also a Persian word. My guess is that both Kurdish and Armenian were influenced by Persian. I think this word has Persian roots.
what is wrong with you! he is talking about genocide and you talk about language
I am Turkish and do not get me wrong but his story does not comply with the realities. In Bursa city there were not Armenians and France never came to Bursa. Also there were no such a 20 years agreement between Turkey and France etc. I think due to being old , he is mixing many informations and details. also many times he said 1,5 million armenian killed. He can not know how many armenians have been killed so he is giving information and tellling the story according to Armenian official aspects. it seems cheesy propaganda rather then story of a witness.
You need to read a little more instead of letting turkish propaganda penetrate you. There's a lot of sources available (lots of non-Armenian sources too!)
He is saying Port Said, not Bursa.
You must be feeling very smart for uncovering the truth, don't you?
