Video - Armenian genocide: Iranian author's diary in animation
Mohammad Ali Jamalzadeh witnessed some of the atrocities committed by the Ottoman government against the Armenian minority. He was among a group of Iranian nationalists working in Ottoman-ruled Baghdad during World War One.
As British forces approached Baghdad, Jamalzadeh, together with two Swedish officers of the Persian gendarmerie force and a few fellow Iranians left the city for Istanbul.
On their travels, Jamalzadeh described what he saw as "brutal and shocking". Later he wrote a diary about what he saw as "the mass murder and looting of Armenians". Source.
