A bit of a look into how the people ration their foodstuffs on the mountain and then there is a much larger Turkish attack.

They successfully blocked out 100 Turkish troops. This book is really reminding me of the War of the End of the War book I read in May.

They’ve officially been given the order to march from their homes. The defenses are built and they’re now waiting for the military to attempt to remove them.

They’re trying to convince this mountain village to stage a defense against the Turkish authorities. They’ve mapped out the approaches to the mountain.

This book was written in the 1930s in Austria while the Nazis were in power. The author describes that the Turkish government referred to ‘the Armenian question’, which is just crazy because that’s how the Germans would talk about Jewish people in a few years.

News is reaching the village that the government is arresting Armenian priests and hanging innocent citizens.

The Ottoman government is confiscating the passports for interior passage of the empire from Armenians.
