ABSTRACT
The author wrestles with the subject of the Armenian Genocide where he suffers a great deal of loneliness, experience a great deal of hardship and adversity, and overcome or avoid various dangers. Nevertheless, author has also met a great number of wonderful people and form last-ing friendships. Through 2008 and 2009, it had been a risky, even life-threatening, business to openly discuss the Armenian Genocide in Turkey, and anyone who did so was largely forced to fight the fight on their own. It was almost unthinkable for the average scholar or academic to voluntarily place him/herself between the pincers of the "conspiracy of silence" on one hand and "murderous hatred" on the other. Such an endeavor derives not only from the need to show accountability toward history and toward the people who were annihilated, but also from the necessity to provide a better life for our children today and to create a better world for tomorrow.
