German historian and author of a number of works Michael
Hesemann has studied the documents linked with the Armenian Genocide that are
kept in Vatican’s open and secret archives since 2009. “I have worked both in
the central archive and in the special archive of historical documents. Getting
a permission to work in that archive I revealed several documents that haven’t
been published yet,” Michael Hesemann noted during the meeting with reporters.
He informed that those documents are included in his book
entitled “The Armenian Genocide” which is to be translated into different
languages, including into Armenian. In addition to this the historian noted
that he had handed over the copies of 1100 pages of the documents to the
director of the RA National Academy of Sciences.
In his words the majority of those documents are the
correspondences of Popes with their representatives. Firstly he noted that the
findings reveal the Ottoman Turks have carried out a planned extermination of
the Cristian population, particularly Armenians.
“It was a planned state policy. And the talks that it was
related to the uprising organized by Armenians are merely a pretense to hide
their plans, namely the mass extermination of the Armenian population,” he said
adding that the Ottoman Turks believed that only a homogeneous state can be
powerful.
“They intentionally sent Armenians to concentration camps
being sure that they would not overcome the cold winter and if they could make
it out they would surely not be able to survive in the hot Syrian deserts. This
would be a “natural” extermination of the Armenian nation,” the historian
noted.
According to him his findings state that 1.5 million
Armenians were massacred. One of the letters (written in November 1918) notes
that 1.5 out of 2.3 were killed.
“These documents show that the slogan of the Ottoman
Turkey “Armenian without Armenians” is a fact and the Germans assisted them in
carrying out the planned crime,” the historian added.
In the words of Michael Hesemann one of the letters
written by a priest reveals the Armenian Genocide was linked to the Masonic
lodge. Being representatives of that lodge the Ottoman Turks intended to
exterminate the Christians be it by 0.2 or by 20 percent. The fact is they
realized their intentions.
In response to the question whether he has ever attempted
to present his findings to the experts of the international law or whether they
will enable Armenian to apply to the international courts to reveal justice he
stated the following: “It is surely possible to turn to such organizations but
the thing is whether such organizations are independent or connected with
masonic organizations. This means the objective judgement by such organizations
are questionable.”
Michael Hesemann added that he will continue his studies
in Vatican.
“I will do my best to prove that the tragic historical
events that occurred in the beginning of the 20th century have become the
source of many similar events. It is necessary to reveals all the details,” the
German historian stated.
