Armenia | Australia | Ottoman

Australia's Armenian story
by Vicken Babkenian & Judith Crispin
Inside Story

'Australia has had a long relationship with Armenia and its people. But since Australia also has a Turkish past – because Gallipoli in Turkey is such an important part of Australia’s understanding of the place of the first world war in our history – it also needs to come to terms with what happened to the people of Armenia during and after that conflict.'

This is an extract from The Honest History Book, edited by David Stephens and Alison Broinowski, published this month by NewSouth.
