The online exhibition on front-page coverage of the Armenian genocide
by the foreign media is presented first time. The coverage of the issue
began appearing in the beginning of the 19th century and continues
finding its place in the modern day media publications.

These publications evidence the world wide response on Armenian
genocide issue confirming its actuality, importance and awareness
among international community.

The online-exhibition presented by Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute
displays although valuable but only a modest part of such publications
and thus is open for new material submissions.

Armenian genocide has always been in the spotlight of Armenian as
well as foreign media. The role of global media coverage is vital in
the sense that it touches upon numerous issues concerning Armenian
genocide. Especially notable are English, Russian, French and American
coverage and publications on issues pertaining Hamidian massacres,
Adana atrocities and of course, the Genocide of 1915-1922.

Publications with particular photos are predominantly remarkable
for they convey valuable information about genocide as a phenomenon,
its process and consequences. Foreign media publications condemning
the violence of Ottoman power against Armenians serve as an indirect
evidence of the fact that the Turkish atrocities were indeed genocide
committed against Armenians.

“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
