Interventions on behalf of Armenia and Armenians have come to be
identified by scholars and practitioners alike as defining moments
in the history of humanitarianism. This volume reassesses these
claims, critically examining a range of interventions by
governments, international and diasporic organizations, and
individuals that aimed to 'save Armenians'. Drawing on perspectives
from a range of disciplines, the chapters trace the evolution of
these interventions from the late-nineteenth to the present day,
paying particular attention to the aftermaths of the genocide and
the upheavals of the post-Soviet period. Geographically, the
contributions connect diverse spaces and places - the Caucasus,
Russia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, South America, and
Australia - revealing shifting transnational networks of aid and
intervention. These chapters are followed by reflections from
leading scholars in the fields of refugee history and Armenian
history, Peter Gatrell and Ronald Grigor Suny. Aid to Armenia not
only offers an innovative exploration into the history of Armenia
and Armenians and the history of humanitarianism, but it provides a
platform for practitioners to think critically about contemporary
humanitarian questions facing Armenia, the South Caucasus region
and the wider Armenian diaspora. -- .
