FOREWORD 7
and entitled A Scheme for the Settlement of Armenian Refugees.
General Survey and Principal Documents, Geneva, 1927.
In the following pages I have endeavoured to give some
idea of our journey, our work, our impressions of the country
and its people, and our proposals. If these proposals can
be carried out I am convinced that they will be the beginning
of a new era of development in Armenia, and will do a great
deal to make the future happier for its gifted people and its
numerous refugees.
The last two chapters give a brief summary of the history
of the Armenian nation. I feel sure that no one can study
the story of this remarkable people without being profoundly
moved by their tragic fate. In spite of a disheartening con
sciousness of the defects in my presentation of their case,
I hope that the facts themselves will speak from these pages
to the conscience of Europe and America.
FRIDTJOF NANSEN.
Lysaker,
July 1927.
