Համաշխարհային Երկրորդ պատերազմին վախճանը եւ հայերը

Abstract
With an abundant use of archival material and official publications, as well as Armenian, English, French and Turkish studies and newspaper articles, the author portrays a vivid picture of the political and military relations of the so-called Berlin Armenian National Council on one side and the Nazi authorities on the other, and gives the almost untold story of the forming and activities of sundry Armenian groups and formations in Nazi Germany, of the role of Soviet Armenian forces in the fall of Berlin in the May of 1945, of the meetings of Yalta and Potsdam, and of the Soviet ( Armenian) demands to rectify the Turco-Armenian frontier and their failure because of the British stand. The article is an attempt in making an overall approach to the last phase of the Second World War and the Armenian military activities therein, and hence comprises several sections each dealing with a particular page of a different type of relations among the warring parties of the day. These sections shed light on «The Yalta Meeting» «The conditions of the Armenians cooperating with the Nazi government of Berlin» «The stand of the Armenian Diaspora in the decisive days of 1945» «The death of President Roosevelt and the Armenians» «The role of the Armenian units in 1945» «The new phase of the Armenian Question» «The end of the Second World War» At the end of the article the author does not hesitate to conclude that, though victorious as a component part of the Soviet Union and its people, due to the world politics of the Great Victors, the Armenians could not achieve the retrocession of some regions of their fatherland, namely of Kars, Artahan and Artvin, lost to the Turks in 1920, to their present yet decimated fatherland, the Republic of Soviet Socialist Armenia of 1945.
