Summary
[edit]DescriptionSarkis Torosyan document.jpg |
English: Sarkis Torossian was a decorated Ottoman captain of Armenian descent who fought in the Gallipoli Campaign and according to his memoirs, was the first person to sink a British battleship. After the Armenian Genocide however, when most of his family was massacred, he switched sides and joined the fight against Ottoman Empire. He later moved to the United States where he wrote and published his memoirs, From Dardanelles to Palestine: a true story of five battle fronts of Turkey. His story has led to a debate in Turkey where Turkish historians have discredited the authenticity of his memoirs and with some historians claiming he never existed. In anticipation of the publication of Torosian's memoirs in Turkey by Ayhan Aktar, Torosian's descendants were discovered by local historian Paul Vartan Sookiasian. From there, Taner Akçam interviewed Torosian's granddaughter who described in detail about her grandfather's life. Enver Pasha also awarded Torossian with Osmanlı Devleti harp madalyası (Ottoman State War Medal) with a letter of appreciation above. |
