Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Turkish Toils: The Narrative of an Armenian Family's Escape The following narrative was written by the wife of Mr. Tovmas K.Mugerditchian, an Armenian pastor who became attached to the British Oriental Consular Service in 1896, and in 1904 was appointed British Vice-Consul in Diarbekir. There are many reliable witnesses who will affirm that the story of Mrs. Mugerditchian is worthy of the fullest credence. The record of the Turk is sufficiently well known; the abominations he has perpetrated in Armenia are as well authenticated as any event in modern history. From other sources comes confirmatory evidence of the hideous crimes that have added further stains to Turkeys record in that unhappy land. Mrs. Mugerditchian and her family, dressed in Kurdish costume, succeeded in making their escape into the country held by the Russians. From Tiflis she was able to send the whole story to her husband, who is at present serving the British authorities in Egypt. While this small party was fleeing north-eastwards, other Armenians were making their way to Bagdad, which had just been taken by the British. Others will tell their own story, but the letter of Mr. Edmund Candlei-, the accredited Correspondent with the Mesopotamian. forces, published in The Times of June 21 st, 1917, records numerous similar instances of inhuman atrocities committed by the Turks in other parts of Armenia.
