“In 1915 the Turkish government began and ruthlessly carried out the infamous general massacre and deportation of Armenians in Asia Minor. There is no reasonable doubt that this crime was planned and executed for political reason.” Sir Winston Churchill “Armenia is dying, but it will survive. The little blood that it still has left is precious blood that will give birth to a heroic generation. A nation that does not want to die, does not die.” Anatole France “The deportations of Western Armenians are nothing but concealed race extermination. There is no language rich enough to describe the horrors of it.” Jacques de Morgan “They were to be uprooted, whole households, from their homes, and driven off to an unknown destination... Communities like this, after being mutilated by the wholesale conscription or assassination of the husbands and fathers, were now torn up by the roots and driven, under the forlorn leadership of the old men, into an exile that was to terminate in a death of unspeakable horror.” Arnold Joseph Toynbee
