French journalists publish “Turkey and the Armenian Ghost” book

French journalists Laure Marchand and Guillaume Perrier conducted an extensive research on the Armenian Genocide, when residing in Turkey.

They discovered genocide survivors converted to Islam, descendants of Turks who saved Armenians, as well as evidence buried in churches. The authors published “Turkey and the Armenian Ghost” book, based on the abundant evidence.

The stories, reports and meetings picture a country, chased by the past, even if some Turks struggle against the official ideology. The preface of the book was written by Turkish historian, Clark University professor Taner Akcam, Nouvelles d'Arménie reported.

Marchand is a reporter at Le Figaro magazine and Le Nouvel Observateur in Turkey; Perrier is a reporter at Le Monde journal.
