True, it may sometimes be difficult or  Still living in an alternate universe? Numerous articles in major newspapers  (London Times) and periodicals (Newsweek) during the war, had suggested  the existence of a significant collaboration between Armenians and the  Nazis. Arthur Derounian deserves credit for being the first person to  deal with this issue extensively. Derounian's motives were twofold: his  deeply held democratic convictions gave him a sense of duty and he felt  obliged to shed light on this yet another dark chapter of Armenian history. Concurrently, Derounian embarked on what one would call 'crisis control'  or face-saving. In order to forestall any potential attacks on the larger  Armenian community in the United States, he marginalized collaboration  as deplorable but insignificant.[1]  [1] John Roy Carlson (real name Arthur Derounian), 'The Plotters,'     E. P. Dutton & Company, Inc., New York 1946, p. 182.    Source: "Mitteilungsblatt, Berlin, December 1939, Nr. 2 and 5-6"   Yet another historical fact: a fact that for years has been deliberately   forgotten, concealed, and wiped from memory - the fact of Armenian-Nazi   collaboration.   A magazine called Mitteilungsblatt der Deutsch-Armenischen Gesselschaft  is the clearest and most definite proof of this collaboration. The   magazine was first published in Berlin in 1938 during Nazi rule of Germany  and continued publication until the end of 1944. Even the name of the  magazine, which implies a declaration of Armenian-Nazi cooperation,  is attention-getting.   This magazine, every issue of which proves the collaboration, is historically  important as documentary evidence. It is a heap of writing that should be  an admonition to world opinion and to all mankind.    In Nazi Germany, Armenians were considered to be an Aryan race and certain  political, economic, and social rights were thus granted to them. They   occupied positions in public service and were partners in Nazi practices.  The whole world of course knows what awaited those who were not considered   "Aryan" and what befell them.  Now wait, there is more.  Source: "From Sardarapat to Sevres and Lausanne" by Avetis Aharonian. The  Armenian Review, Vol. 16, No. 3-63, Autumn, Sep. 1963, pp. 47-57.  p. 52 (second paragraph).  "Your three chiefs, Dro, Hamazasp and Kulkhandanian are the ringleaders  of the bands which have destroyed Tartar villages and have staged   massacres in Zangezour, Surmali, Etchmiadzin, and Zangibasar. This is  intolerable. Look - and here he pointed to a file of official documents  on the table - look at this, here in December are the reports of the last  few months concerning ruined Tartar villages which my representative  Wardrop has sent me. The official Tartar communique speaks of the  destruction of 300 villages."   p. 54 (fifth paragraph).  "Yes, of course. I repeat, until this massacre of the Tartars is stopped  and the three chiefs are not removed from your military leadership I  hardly think we can supply you arms and ammunition."  "...it is the armed bands led by Dro, Hamazasp and Kulkhandanian who  during the past months have raided and destroyed many Tartar villages in  the regions of Surmali, Etchmiadzin, Zangezour, and Zangibasar. There are  official charges of massacres."   Serdar Argic
