Fake Photos And The Armenian Propaganda

The “Armenian Question” has been a controversy for more than a century and ever since its emergence, fake documents, statistics, and visual materials have been part of the controversy. This has now become even more prevalent with the advent of the internet and social media platforms. Today, there are thousands of websites and social media accounts that one way or another contribute to the distribution of fake or misused images in support of the Armenian version of the 1915 events.

This booklet, in the form of a short study, gathers and scrutinizes some of the most common fake and misused images in connection with the Armenian allegations. In case of the misused images, the booklet also presents the original image with brief contextual information as to its origins and how it was misused as part of the propaganda for the Armenian allegations.

Men Are Like That

"In 1922, Leonard Ramsden Hartill, an American who conducted agricultural reconstruction works in the Caucasus under the framework of the Near East Relief, met an Armenian man named Ohanus Appressian who had witnessed many ordeals in his life as a former soldier, farmer, and refugee. Appressian was among the many refugees Hartill employed during the work he carried out in the Caucasus. Through his agricultural training, hard work, translation skills, and substantial knowledge of the region, Appressian became indispensable for Hartill, and the two men eventually developed a strong bond of friendship.


Appressian would go on to become a main character in this book at hand. Throughout their time together, Appressian bluntly told Hartill the story of the sufferings, ethnic strife, mutual massacres, and the ugly face of the war in his lands between the Christian Armenians and the Muslim Tatars (Turks). Hartill compiled these recollections of Appressian and personally verified most of them, noticing that many other people in the region shared similar harrowing experiences. After Hartill returned to Indianapolis/US, he published his book titled “Men Are Like That” based on Appressian's recollections.". . .
