The Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute organizes an international
conference on today dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the German
missionary Johannes Lepsius (1858-1926).

Johannes Lepsius was the long-life friend and supporter of the
Armenian nation. After the massive Armenian massacres (1894-1896)
he permanently did his best to prevent new ones and to help the
survivors of the Armenian Genocide.

He founded hospitals, orphanages, schools and manufactures for the
survivors and refugees of the genocide.

In 1912-1914 Lepsius took part in working out of the Armenian
reforms. In 1919 he published "Germany and Armenia 1914-1918"
(Deutschland und Armenien 1914-1918), the collection of German
diplomatic documents regarding the Armenian Cause and the Armenian
Genocide.

Babken Harutyunyan (YSU), Ashot Hayruni (YSU), Artem Ohanjanyan
(Vienna), Rubina Peroomian (University of California, USA), Andreas
Bauman (Christianity Hilfsbund in Orient, Germany), Tilman Allert
(Germany), Manfred Ashke (Germany) will make speeches at the conference
dedicated to the German missionary.

Emil Lazarian: “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
