| Summary: | There are few historical episodes more painful than the Armenian genocide. Many thousands of reliable eyewitnesses of various nationalities, Turks included, have written detailed descriptions of the horrors that the Armenians endured—including maiming, torture, starvation, disease, abduction, rape, mental and physical abuse, and mass execution. There continue to be serious debates about how many Armenians died, with estimates ranging from 600,000 to 1.5 million. There can be no controversy, however, about the victims' suffering., But the pain is not limited to our empathy for the victims and their families. |
