Dr. Poladian said in his book, issued by al-Sharq Publishing House in Damascus that the Ottomans perpetrated genocide that expanded geographically throughout the Armenian map- from Cilicia to Mount Ararat through Trabzon and the eastern states- highlighting the crimes of banishment, killing, burning of houses, pillage, rape and humiliation against the Armenians, citing heart-wrenching stories of pain, grief and sadness.<\/p>\n

The book includes testimonies of three eyewitnesses (the Syrian lawyer Fayez al-Ghussein, Naem Bek al-Turki and Father Isaac Armala al-Syriani).<\/p>\n
