I was interested to read in the Aborigines' Friend of September 1878 this report of comments by Carekine H Papasian at the Society's annual meeting in May of that year
'The situation of the poor inhabitants of Armenia has become intolerable; their sufferings have been innumerably increased by the disastrous consequences of the recent war. Thousands of villages have been destroyed, honour life and property have been daily exposed to the cruel rapacity of the Kurds, without retaining any redress on the part of the Turkish government whose duty is to protect them...'
I had no idea that Kurds were also implicated in the massacre of the Armenians
