Istanbul's Chamber of Commerce published the report of Armenia's First Prime Minister Hovhannes Katchaznouni that he presented in a party conference in 1923. I want to share some parts from this book which is published in Turkish, English, German and French languages;
The book is not a novel or fiction. It is a real documentary. It is a historical document that reveals the truth about 1915 Armenian issue through the report of an eye witness. This historical report of the first PM of Armenia is forbidden in Armenia. It is known that Dashnaks collected these books also from the libraries in Europe. The name of the books exists in catalogs but it can't be found on shelves.
In the begining of his report Katchaznouni stresses that he prepared report after a long period of consideration. He knew that his report will irritate many people. Asking Dashnak delegations in the conference to patiently listen to him, Katchaznouni said;
- It was a mistake to establish armed volunteer troops during the World War One.
- They were unconditionally loyal to Russia
- They did not calculate the power balance which was towards Turks
- The decision of deportation was complying with its aim.
- Turks was moving with the instinct of defence
- English occupation after 1918 revived the Dashnak hopes towards independence
- Dashnaks had established a dictatorship in Armenia
- They massacred Muslim population
