"Children of Armenia" by Michael Bobelian was featured on the C-SPAN-2
BookTV show December 19 and 20, ARAMAC informed.
Children of Armenia CoverMichael Bobelian, journalist and grandson of
an Armenian Genocide survivor, recalls the displacement of 2 million
Armenians, many of which were killed, by the Ottoman government from
1915 to 1923. The author questions why this historical period has been
ignored. He cites over 100 articles in the New York Times in 1915
recounting the events as they unfolded, President Woodrow Wilson’s
calls for aid, and the current work of Armenian descendants to have
the genocide publicly acknowledged.
The event was hosted by Chaucer’s Bookstore in Santa Barbara,
California.
"Children of Armenia" was broadcast on C-SPAN-2 BookTV Show three
times: Saturday afternoon, Sunday morning and evening.
Michael Bobelian is a journalist and lawyer. His writing has appeared
in several publications, including American Lawyer and Legal Affairs.
