Armenia, a martyr nation A historical sketch of the Armenian people from traditional times to the present tragic days

This volume offers a concise yet vivid portrait of a people whose story stretches from biblical mentions to the turmoil of the early twentieth century. Drawing on ancient chronicles, linguistic studies, and contemporary eyewitness accounts, it traces how the Armenians forged the world’s first Christian nation while navigating countless invasions, cultural shifts, and regional upheavals. The narrative also highlights the profound resilience that has defined the community through centuries of both triumph and tragedy.

The author, an Armenian‑American who experienced missionary life in his homeland before pursuing advanced studies in the United States, brings a personal yet scholarly perspective to the account. He devotes particular attention to the harrowing events of the World War I era, detailing the systematic persecution carried out by the Ottoman authorities and its reverberations across the diaspora. By weaving together faith, identity, and the universal call for justice, the book invites listeners to understand a history that remains strikingly relevant today.
