Description

At the turn of the 20th century, when the Ottoman and Russian empires were on the verge of collapse, world powers were competing to secure a share of natural resources from those failing states, most notably untapped crude oil. BETRAYAL: The Promise Never Kept is the first publication of its kind that chronicles acts of genocide and the West's secret war for oil, as it relates to World War I. Using never before published materials from the archival collection of Shahan Natalie, an 11-year-old genocide survivor and orphan, destined to become a journalist, poet, human rights activist and revolutionary, BETRAYAL connects the dots to reveal who was truly behind the crimes against humanity, which took the lives of 2.5 million Christian Armenians living in their ancestral home, carried out by the Turks and Germans over a 30-year span of time (1894-1923). BETRAYAL also shares the censored memoirs of Soghomon Tehlirian, the assassin of the Turkish world leader, Talaat Pasha, the man who gave the orders to eradicate the Armenian people from the face of the Earth. Included in BETRAYAL are also memoirs, writings, articles and other publications that document the infighting of the Armenian revolutionary organizations, leading up to and following the Armenian Genocide. BETRAYAL closes with the on-going struggle for remembrance of the genocidal atrocities committed against the Armenian people. It presents documents from nations who have officially recognized the Armenian Genocide, including Turkey, Russia, England, France, and most notably, the United States of America.This version of BETRAYAL, is intended to educate members of the United States Congress, as to the facts of the Armenian Genocide. This following their passages of H.Res.296 and S.Res.150, both officially recognizing the Armenian Genocide. It includes a letter to the members of their obligation to the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Genocide Convention), which the United States sign under in 1948 and ratified in 1988. The Genocide Convention establishes that State Parties have an obligation to take measures to prevent and to punish the crime of genocide, including the enactment of relevant legislation that punishes the perpetrators, "whether they are constitutionally responsible rulers, public officials or private individuals" (Article IV).
