"The Red Flag at Ararat is in a class by itself.”
   –Mary K. Matossian, author of The Impact of Soviet Policies in Armenia (1962)

"The author of this book, an Armenian living in this country, who is a student of immigration and social problems and has traveled, lectured and written extensively on those subjects, visits the land of her ancestors, which she has never seen, the land that to all Armenians in exile has always been Yergir Trakhdavair, ‘Paradise Land.’ She sets down in the simplest way, without comment or attempt at "interpretation,” that which she sees, hears, experiences in this small Soviet Republic, one of the smallest among the nine federated independent states that compose the great U.S.S.R., Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The result is a cumulative picture vivid in its presentation of what has actually grown out of the rank and turbid soil of the Russian Revolution.”
   –From the original publisher, The Womans Press, 1932
