“A SONG TO HAMSHEN”: NOW IN VIDEO VERSION

Grigor Mazlumyan, Armenian author from Sochi, has recently published his collection of works titled “A Song to Hamshen”. Now, all the works from this collection are supposed to have a video version and composed by the original author.
“Yerkramas” reports, that it was the first paper to publish the “Songs to Hamshen” in Russian.

The “Song to Hamshen” counts 30 works in Russian and Armenian languages. The author, Grigor Mazlumyan has become member of the Union of Armenian writers in 2007.

Note that now in Sochi and other nearby Black Sea resorts there are many Armenians - who came there from Hamshen, a Western Armenian town, now in Turkey. There are some Armenians in Hamshen too but they have been Islamized.
Living close to the Turkish-Russian border the Hamshen Armenians managed to escape to Russia by sea during the Armenian genocide in 1915; moreover, they fought back against the perpetrators.

It's difficult to cite any numerical data on those massacred. According to an Armenian priest who witnessed the 1895 massacres and who was instructed by Turks to bury the bodies of the victims, he himself didn't know the numbers. This data is perhaps preserved in the Turkish archives.
