Vicken Cheterian is a historian and political scientist, and he lectures at the University of Geneva and Webster University Geneva.
'Cheterian's straightforward historical account does not shy away
from a more disturbing aspect of the genocide's legacy where the
quest for justice denied over generations spills over into the
violence of reprisals, revenge, and terrorism'
*LA Review of Books*
‘Open Wounds provides a comprehensive insight into many relevant
issues with regard to the consequences of denial for Armenians and
other minorities such as the Kurds . . . an impressive account of
how survivors and successive generations resisted erasure through
Armenian historiography, memory politics and the composition and
evolution of the diaspora’.
'Cheterian's book offers one of the most complete tellings of the
twisted, emotional story of the decimation of 1.5 million Armenians
in Ottoman Turkey in 1915, during the fury of World War I and the
story of the political struggle over the massacre in the century
since it occurred.'
*Foreign Affairs*
'In this extraordinary and beautifully-written book, Cheterian
tells us the little known story of the aftermath of the Armenian
Genocide of 1915. He reaches into the history and present-day
politics of Armenians and Turks to tell a story and provide
explanations that have been neglected or elided by others. There is
no other text like this.'
*Ronald G. Suny, Professor Emeritus of Political Science and
History, University of Chicago and former chairman of the Society
for Armenian Studies*
