Australian photographer Judith Crispin is joined by four internationally renowned historians in shedding light on the destruction of Armenian cultural heritage over the last century, culminating in the destruction of one of the world's oldest Christian cemeteries, a field of Armenian cross-stones at Julfa, by Azerbaijani military forces. The book shows the deliberate removal and abandonment of any Armenian association within Turkish territories, how world bodies have accepted the neglect and attrition, and who has deliberately misattributed the rich Armenian heritage to redevelop their own cultural identity.

The term was coined in 1943 by the Jewish-Polish lawyer Raphael Lemkin who combined the Greek word "genos" (race or tribe) with the Latin word "cide" (to kill). Defines genocide as "any of the following acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group". [Article Two of the UN convention]
