Jerusalem-based journalist and speaker... discerning truth in a morass of opinions.

We also cover Armenia which is close to her heart especially with the recent intervention of President Trump in the Armenian Azerbaijan conflict, and the complexities of enclaves and borders.
We discuss the Armenian Genocide and the importance of gathering records of this genocide.
Nicole recomended a book to read on this subject.

Ravished Armenia tells the tragic and horrific story of Aurora Mardiganian, a young Armenian woman fleeing genocide as a refugee. This edition includes the five original illustrations. The Armenian population living in the Ottoman Empire at the beginning of the 20th century were largely Christian. Although the ethnic Turks were mostly Muslim, the two groups had long co-existed. At the outbreak of World War I, many Armenians signed up to fight for the Ottoman cause - this show of loyalty led to an assumption that existing persecutions of the Armenian minority would stop, or at least decline. The author of this book was also desired by a local Turkish sultan to be his harem. Although she doesn't want this fate, Aurora realizes that in principle it would at least ensure the safety and well-being of her family. However, nothing could prepare the Armenian for the sudden and sustained horrors that soon followed.
