Matthew Karanian‎I am a descendant of a survivor of the Armenian Genocide! 47 mins · THE DEFENSE OF VAN



This map was created by my uncle Mardiros Kheranian nearly 100 years ago. It shows how the Armenians defended Van during the siege in 1915. The original of this priceless artifact is on display at the National Museum in Yerevan, Armenia. 
A copy of the map appears in my book HISTORIC ARMENIA AFTER 100 YEARS. This is the first time this map has been published in a book. Details at www.HistoricArmeniaBook.com
