Book about Armenian Genocide published in Russia
A book titled "We are alive… We are still on the way… Ag Tah: a four-year battle," was published in Rostov-on-Don, Russia.

The Yerkramas, the newspaper of Armenians of Russia reported that book contains recollections of those who survived the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire. Nazar Kapikian and Kulpek Galustian, the authors of the memoirs, served in small defense units for four years. These were the years of heroic resistance of the people who were persecuted for just being Armenians.

Kapikian and Galustian's memoirs were first published in Paris in 1932. By initiative of their heirs, the book was translated into Russian and published this year.

"This is not a book of reproach or a book of justification. This is a book of the truth," the publishers said.
