Armenians’ activities in Hungary against the Ottoman Empire are almost unknown. However Dr Atilla von Orbòk, in a booklet he published in 1916, tried to explain these activities and drew the attention of the Hungarian public opinion, who, for religious reasons, could support Armenian views. Yücel NAMAL, in his article “A Booklet Regarding the Armenian Question in Hungary” gives detailed information about von Orbòk and his booklet.

In the “Book Review” section of this issue, Halit GÜLŞEN analyzes some very interesting points of the last book of Şükrü Server Aya: “The Genocide of Truth Continues, But Facts Tell the Real Story”.
