Scholarship & press
the total Armenian population of the areas I have just described was deported to the northern and eastern edges of the Mesopotamian desert: Deir-ez-Zor, Zor, Rakka, Meskene, Ras-ul-Ain, and as far as Mosul.
During the forced march to Deir-ez-Zor, we went through villages and cities where countless Armenians gave up their lives
