Reclaiming Ravished Paradise, Vol. II: A Sequel to Ravished Paradise

Description

After surviving the Forced March to Nothingness, been lied to by the Great Powers, and after almost recovering their ravished paradise, once more the Armenian survivors of the genocide are abandoned and desolate. France handed the liberated Cilicia to Turkey and later gave the province of Iskenderoun (The Hatay) to the Turks to the detriment of Armenians and Syrian Arabs. Armenians struggle to live a decent life in Syria and Lebanon, as elsewhere throughout the world, to get organized as a community and to prosper. Fifty years after 1915, they decide to fight for their right in the world, to reclaim their ravished Armenian paradise, facing total ignorance of their cause. Will they succeed? With the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, Armenia's mainland declares independence as Hovsep had predicted thirty years before. Will it survive the enmity of Sunni Turkey and Shiite Azerbaijan?
