FRENCH PRESS TOUCHES UPON GILBERT SINUE’S NEW NOVEL ABOUT THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE Translated by L.H. French authoritative newspaper Le Figaro daily touched upon French writer Gilbert Sinue’s new novel about the Armenian Genocide titled "Yerevan". To the question of Figaro, why Gilbert not being an Armenian decided to write a novel about the Armenian Genocide, the latter answered that he had always been on familiar terms with the Armenian people. "I am descended from a Greek catholic family of Egypt. My best friends were the representatives of the Armenian community of Cairo", he mentioned adding that he had heard the testimonies of the survivors of the Genocide since his adolescence. Gilbert Sinue mentioned that the book is published for a large circle of readers. "I noticed that the books about this tragedy are mainly scientific works. I think that if you want to arouse interest in something, the best way is to write a novel. It can touch people’s souls and hearts. I aim at stirring up more readers’ interest in the Armenian Genocide", he said, according to "Armenpress". |
