Against the backdrop of the first two deportations from Kesab (1909 and 1915), the paper analyses the third deportation from Kesab in 2014.
Based on observations and analysis of collective memory experiences, exclusively from an Armenian perspective, the paper examines, from diverse angles, the 2014 uprooting and its connections with the Armenian Genocide and the basic issues of the Armenian Cause.
The Kesab case is presented as a case-study of Armenian history, yet, at the same time, as part and parcel of Syrian Armenian history. Accordingly, the conclusions of the paper are deductive reflecting a line of thought from one case to generalities.
