Sarkis Torossian
Sarkis Torossian ((トルコ語:Sarkis Torosyan), 1891 - August 17, 1954) was a decorated Ottoman captain of Armenian descent who fought in the Gallipoli Campaign and according to his memoirs, was the first person to sink a British battleship.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.genocide-museum.am/eng/24.04.2010d.php )〕 After the Armenian Genocide however, when most of his family was massacred, he switched sides and joined the fight against Ottoman Empire.〔〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=20609086 )〕 He later moved to the United States where he wrote and published his memoirs, ''From Dardanelles to Palestine: a true story of five battle fronts of Turkey''. His story has led to a debate in Turkey where Turkish historians have discredited the authenticity of his memoirs and with some historians claiming he never existed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Robert Fisk: The Armenian hero whom Turkey would prefer to forget - Comment - Voices - The Independent )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tanerakcam.com/debates/sarkis-torossian-debate/ )〕 In anticipation of the publication of Torosian's memoirs in Turkey by Ayhan Aktar, Torosian's descendants were discovered by local historian Paul Vartan Sookiasian. From there, Taner Akçam interviewed Torosian's granddaughter who described in detail about her grandfather's life.〔〕
== Life ==
Sarkis Torossian was born in the Armenian populated village of Everek (present-day: Develi) near Kayseri in 1893. He attended the local Armenian Parochial School. At an early age, Sarkis Torossian wanted to become a soldier, however Ottoman Turkish law forbid any non-Muslim to become soldiers until the Young Turk Revolution in 1908. Torossian continued his education in Edirne where he befriended an Arab named Muharrem whose father was a Brigadier General in Constantinople.〔 Through the help of Muharrem's father, Torossian was secured a position in the Military College and graduated in 1914 with the rank of Second Lieutenant of the Artillery.〔 During his frequent visits to his father, Torossian began to develop a passion for his daughter (Muharrem's sister) Jemileh.〔
