Vatican Diplomacy and the Armenian Question - Paperback

by Mario Carolla (Author), Cynthia Quilici (Translator)

The fall of the Russian Empire during WWI led to the establishment of the first Armenian Republic in the south Caucasus in 1918. This republic was born in a war torn region, barely able to defend itself against external foes. The Vatican had a special concern for this Christian republic, where many survivors of the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey had also taken refuge.
