French historian`s new book "Ending the Genocide: Mustafa Kemal and  the Destruction  of Surviving Armenian and Greek," to be presented in  Yerevan

ArmInfo. A presentation of a new book by French-Armenian historian and genocide scholar Raymond Kevorkian, "Ending the Genocide: Mustafa Kemal and the Extermination of Armenian and Greek Survivors (1918-1922)," will take place in  Yerevan. The book will be presented on June 6 at 3:00 PM in the AGBU  conference hall.

As the press service of the event organizers informed ArmInfo, the  author examines the policies of the Ottoman Empire and the subsequent  Kemalist movement toward the Armenians and Greeks who survived the  genocide. "The book substantiates the viewpoint that the Armenian  Genocide did not end with the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in World  War I and the fall of the Young Turk regime. According to the  author's research, in the early 1920s, the authorities under Mustafa  Kemal (Ataturk) continued the forced deportation and persecution of  Armenians and Greeks with the aim of permanently eliminating their  presence from their historical settlements," the statement noted.

The book was reportedly first published in French in 2023. The  Russian-language edition was released as a result of cooperation  between the Narekatsi Institute, the "ANIV" Foundation for the  Development and Support of Armenian Studies, and the Armenian  Genocide Museum-Institute (AGMI).

According to the source, Kevorkian previously directed the Nubar  Library in Paris, taught at the University of Paris VIII  (Saint-Denis), served as a research director at the French Institute  of Geopolitics (IFG), and edited the academic journal Contemporary  Armenian History.
