The Russian edition of the "Armenian Testament" book by Spanish writer
Gonzalo Guarch was presented at the press center of RIA Novosti in
Moscow at an event organized by the Russian-Armenian Friendship,
the Fund of Historical Outlook and the Consulate General of Armenia
in Spain.

The world should know about the Armenian Genocide and condemn the
tragic events that took place in Ottoman Turkey at the turn of the
20th century, said Gonzalo Guarch, an author of three books on the
Armenian Genocide.

"I wrote three books on the Armenian issue: Armenian Family Tree,
Armenian Testament and White Mountain. The tragic history of the
Armenian people is an important part of the world history, and I
believe that it is rather important to remember what has happened,"
the writer said.

The hero of the Armenian Testament is Henri de Latour, a French
journalist working at the French Embassy in Constantinople, who later
marries Maritsa, an Armenian girl who he helped to survive.

In the beginning Gonzalo Guarch was just interested in the Armenian
question but later… "I came to realize that this is an exciting
story and I have to tell about these events," he said.
