Anyone who has talked with the survivors of that genocide knows from their descriptions of the unspeakable horrors. virtually impossible to describe that were experienced by 11/ million people. On the night of April 2324. 1915. 75 years ago75 years agothe intellectual. religious and political leaders of the Armenian people were summarily arrested in Istanbul. to be sent to exile and death. Those arrests were quickly followed in every Armenian community by the arrests of local leader. the segregation of Armenian soldiers into separate battalions which were then condemned to death. and the deportation of entire Armenian communities. defenseless women and children. into the remote deserts in the eastern region of Anatolia. This campaign against the Armenian people occurred in the face of a world opinion that unfortunately was largely indifferent. It did not pass unnoticed however. and the historical record cannot be rewritten.
