Armenian martyrology is still very incomplete. First and foremost, it lacks the voice of the victims, because the Armenian Genocide came at a moment of international crisis, when almost every civilized nation was preoccupied with saving itself from the horrible storm unleashed by German imperialism and was locked in a frantic battle for existence, and thus did not have the means or the inclination to be concerned with others. The cries of the victims could not even reach the ears of civilized humanity, because these victims were slaughtered in distant corners of desolate deserts. Only faint echoes of their death rattles and mere whispers of their indescribable suffering were captured and presented to the world by the venerable Lord Bryce.
