Khodorchur: Lost Paradise

Description

This book is about the steadfast people and beautiful land of Khodorchur (now named Sirakonaklar, row of mansions in Turkish) - a cluster of historic Armenian villages referred to as Little Rome in the late 18th century. These pages bring to life the customs and traditions of a hardy people toiling to keep their land and identity against all odds, including their eventual deportation and near-complete annihilation under Turkish rule during World War I.
