What happened to the Armenians who remained in the Ottoman Empire in 1915? What state policy did Turkey pursue in relation to them? How did it happen that after 1920 the Soviet Union studied the Kars and Sevres treaties and seriously discussed the problem of seizing Kars and Ardagan from Turkey? Why did the announcement of the immigration of Soviet Armenia turn out to be exactly in the middle and at the most dangerous point in relations between the Soviet Union and Turkey, which represent a historical confrontation, but are shaped by a new political order and methods? A book that was especially awaited by those who noticed the active work of Turkish historians in the archives. The archives contain documents and information about the Armenian Genocide, survivors and descendants. This time, two Armenian Turkologists worked in the archives in detail and carefully. Found and presented information about the Armenians who embarked on the path of "escape" from Erg to Armenia, stored under a "strictly secret" dossier and still unknown. Why and how they decided to come and stay: the Armenians of Turkey and their descendants tell in this book. From the trauma of the Genocide to the process of ghettoization in Armenia.
