Wolfgang Gust, German scholar, and his wife Ingrid Gust, human rights lawyer, through their tireless efforts, painstakingly collected and published documents from the German Foreign Office Archive. These official documents revealed the extent of the Ottoman policy and planning with regards to the Armenian citizens of the Ottoman Empire. The Gusts collected, restored, translated and published these historical archives in collaboration with Professor Vahakn N. Dadrian, Director of Genocide Research of the Zoryan Institute. The Institute’s staff also assisted with translation, editing and publishing of the book in German (2005), Turkish (2012) and English (2014). The German edition played a major role in the German Parliament’s announcement on the Armenian Genocide on June 2, 2016.
