The Armenian Revolt: 1894-1920: Documentary by Marty Callaghan

In the late 19th century, Armenian nationalists began to revolt against the Ottoman Empire , spurred by Western political ideals and the desire for their own homeland. When World War 1 broke out, Russian troops invaded eastern Turkey and many Armenians joined their ranks. By 1915, the struggle between Christian Armenians and Muslims turned into a tragic bloodbath. Over the next five years, more than two million Armenians and Muslims - Turkish, Kurdish, and Azeri - died from disease, starvation, exposure and outright massacre. This one-hour program examines the details of this horrible struggle, explains its causes, and reveals the key role played by Western powers in the conflict. / This DVD can be ordered from TCA for $12 plus shipping and handling.
