This book critically examines the history of humanitarianism and intervention on behalf of Armenia and Armenians from the late nineteenth century to the post-Soviet era. Examining a diverse set of case studies, the contributors show how the case of Armenia informs histories of humanitarianism and, in turn, how the history of humanitarianism illuminates the history of Armenia.
