Armenia: The Secrets of a "Christian" Terrorist State

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Armenia: Secrets of a "Christian" Terrorist State is a controversial, pseudohistorical, anti-Armenian book written by Samuel Weems (June 2002, ISBN 0971921237). It was intended to be the first of a series of five volumes that would form a collection titled "The Armenian Great Deception". It contains controversial ^[1] claims about Armenia and the Armenian people. The book claims that the Armenian government, in partnership with the "Armenian Church" (which he claims to be the only church and being state owned), is partners in terrorism of a massive degree. It connects several events allegedly having happened with each others. It first purports to document an alleged Armenian terrorist acts in Georgia and Azerbaijan in 1918 and 1919. It also covers ASALA attacks in the 1970s and 1980s.

A significant portion of the book covers the Armenian Genocide, which the author denies. He calls it a "giant fraud", claiming that Armenians have fabricated genocide and established a "genocide industry" to deceive and "fleece" other Christian nations of the world out of billions of dollars. He proceeds further to claim that Armenians killed Muslims and then sent reports that Armenians were being killed.

The author accuses Armenians of have "infiltrated" the United States, writing that "In 1918 Armenia established what it called "colonies" in the United States by sending its people to help build a political base to get free money and support from America. Those colonies have grown and have been very successful in helping get free stuff."

The book also claims that the Armenians were not an ethnic majority in Armenia until the nineteenth century and the early twentieth century, and they stole Muslim lands to forge a country. The Armenian Assembly of America has condemned the book as "outrageous and racist anti-Armenian propaganda."^[1]

The book was translated into Azerbaijani and printed in Baku in 2004 as Ermənistan. Terrorçu "xristian" ölkənin gizlinləri, author credited as "Samyuəl A.Uimz" in Azerbaijani style.^[2] It was also translated into Turkish and printed in Turkey (Ermenistan: Terörist "Hıristiyan" Ülkenin Sırları, March 2006, ISBN 975-6288-82-5) ^[3].
