Musa Dagh
Musa Dagh ((トルコ語:Musa Dağı); (アルメニア語:Մուսա լեռ), ''Musa leṛ''; (アラビア語:جبل موسى) ''Jebel Musa''; meaning "Moses Mountain") was the site of an Armenian resistance in 1915. The denizens of that region had been given an official order from the Turkish government to perform violent expulsions of six Armenian villages: Kabusia (Kaboussieh), Yoghunoluk, Bitias, Vakef, Kheter Bey (Khodr Bey) and Haji Habibli. This was a fragment of a wider operation conducted by the Ottomans since 1915.〔New Outlook, Volume 111 edited by Alfred Emanuel Smith, page.800〕 As Ottoman Turkish forces converged upon the town, the populace, aware of the impending danger, fell back upon Musa mountain and thwarted assaults for fifty-three days.〔Remembrance and denial: the case of the Armenian genocide by Richard G. Hovannisian – Page 161〕〔Resistance and revenge: the Armenian assassination of the Turkish leaders ... By Jacques Derogy p.22〕 One of the leaders of the revolt was Movses Der Kalousdian, whose Armenian first name was the same as that of the mountain. Allied warships, most notably the French 3rd squadron in the Mediterranean under command of Louis Dartige du Fournet, sighted the survivors, as Werfel was told, just as ammunition and food provisions were running out.〔Franz Werfel: an Austrian writer reassessed – by Lothar Huber, page 176〕 The warships then transported them to safety in Port Said, Egypt.〔The great war for civilisation: the conquest of the Middle East By Robert Fisk〕〔The Christian minorities in Turkey – Wilhelm Baum, page.92〕 French and British ships, beginning with the ''Guichen'', evacuated 4,200 men, women and children from Musa Dagh.〔The new presence by Nadace M.J. Stránského, p.14〕
==History==
Nearly 250 men took part in the defense, fighting off Turkish armies in June 1915.〔 The Armenians had refused deportation and fled to the highest mountain in the town, and from July to September 1915 they defended themselves until French ships rescued them.〔 Starting in 1918, when Sanjak of Alexandretta came under French control, six Armenian villages returned to their homes. On 29 June 1939, following an agreement between France and Turkey, the province was given to Turkey. Afterwards Armenians from six of the villages emigrated from Hatay, while some of the residents of Vakıflı village chose to stay. Vakıflı is the only remaining ethnic Armenian village in Turkey, with a population only 140 Turkish-Armenians. Those who left Hatay in 1939 immigrated to Lebanon where they resettled in the town of Anjar. Today, the town of Anjar is divided into six districts, each commemorating one of the villages of Musa Dagh.
As the French squads came to the rescue of the remaining survivors, the chief priest was quoted to say: "The evil only happened ... to enable God to show us His goodness."〔Franz Werfel, the faith of an exile: from Prague to Beverly Hills By Lionel Bradley Steiman, page 86〕
