Two Committees Two Massacres was originally written in Turkish by Ahmet Refik, a lecturer in Turkey, about what he saw during the genocide of 1914-1918. The two committees mentioned in the title are the two sides involved in the conflict, i.e. Turkish and Armenian. He gives a humanitarian view of what happened, but most importantly, remains objective in his views. This is an English translation of the original Turkish by Racho Donef.
