Nota Bene
This work, originally penned in 2009, stands as a snapshot of a world and a self that have since undergone profound transformation. Back then, I was a student grappling with the weight of history, my perspective shaped by the academic rigor and the historical context of that time. The world has shifted dramatically in the intervening years—nations, peoples, and global dynamics have evolved, and so have I.
My beliefs, my vision, and my sense of self have been reshaped by experience, reflection, and a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding issues like the Armenian Genocide. This text, then, is a product of my younger mind—my "older cerebrum's firmware," if you will—a reflection of who I was and how I saw the world at that moment. It carries the passion and perspective of 2009, yet it remains a foundation for the ideas and insights that continue to evolve within me today.
