EDITORS COMMENTS
Cartoon, Armenia Delivered (1916) During the tumultuous period of World War I, the plight of the Armenian people under Ottoman Turkish rule became a pressing humanitarian issue. This poignant and allegorical cartoon, titled "Armenia Delivered," captures the hope and relief felt by the Armenian population as they were delivered from the grasp of the Turks by the Russian forces. In the image, a bearded Russian man, clad in military uniform and wearing a grinning expression, extends his arms to protect a group of women and children, symbolizing the Armenian population. The women, dressed in traditional attire, cling to him for safety, their faces expressing relief and gratitude. The man's strong and determined demeanor conveys the sense of security and deliverance that the Armenian people longed for. The background of the cartoon is filled with the chaos and destruction of war, with smoke rising from the horizon and the turmoil of battle visible in the distance. However, the focus remains on the peaceful and hopeful scene of the Russian man delivering Armenia from the Turks. This powerful and evocative image serves as a reminder of the historical events that unfolded during World War I and the role that various nations played in shaping the future of the Armenian people. The allegorical nature of the cartoon highlights the humanitarian aspect of the conflict, emphasizing the importance of protection and deliverance during times of crisis.
