	Musa Dagh
		By the time the Armenians of the six villages at the base of Musa Dagh were instructed to evict their homes, the inhabitants had grown suspicious of the government's ultimate intentions and chose instead to retreat up the mountain and to defy the evacuation order.
		Musa Dagh, or the Mountain of Moses, stood on the Mediterranean Sea south of the coastal town of Alexandretta (modern-day Iskenderun) and west of ancient Antioch.
		Musa Dagh stood as the sole instance where the Western Allies at war with the Ottomans averted the death of a community during the Armenian Genocide.

		Musa Dagh (Dagh is Turkish for mountain) or Musa Ler (Ler is Armenian for mountain) is a small mountain on the Mediterranean coast, today on the Turkish side of the Turkish-Syrian border.
		The true events are the inhabitants of six villages on the slopes of Musa Dagh, chose to resist in 1915 and set up fortifications on the mountain.
		For 53 days they repelled onslaughts by Turkish troops until French sailors sighted a banner the Armenians had tied to a tree on the mountain emblazoned with the words: “Christians in Distress: Rescue.” French and British naval ships then evacuated some 4,200 men, women and children from Musa Dagh to Port Said in Egypt.

	Musa Ler
		Musa Ler is a small mountain on the Mediterranean coast, in today’s Turkey by the Syrian border.

		Musa Ler also refers to a group of Armenian villages, who put up a famous defense for survival, which was immortalized in the best-selling fictionalized account by Franz Werfel’s The Forty Days of Musa Dagh.

	(MUSA DAGH) Tall Armenian Tale: The Other Side of the Falsified Genocide
		The thousands who occupied the summit of Moussa Dagh for 40 days escaped by descending the mountain by a secret exit fronting oil the Mediterranean, while the Ottoman armies were besieging the front of that mountain.
		Modern day Armenians heard the false stories from their elders who were never there themselves, but had heard them from the Dashnag revolutionaries who had made deals with the Czar and the Bolsheviks.

		I would like to mention that i read this book when i was 10 years old, and to this day i remember the names of the characters and the whole story in terms of how it unfolded, what happened and the rest of the details as they were presented in the book.
		He may love and appreciate many things about me but at the end of the day I could have as well been Italian, and where there is a fight at hand centering on the matter of Armenianness, well, I think this Gabriel and Juliet storyline is very realistic in setting expectations.
		Put any proper pressure, like in the case of the married couple in the story of Musa Ler (life-threatening or less) and the whole thing will crumble because at the end of the day for non-Armenians an Armenian identity is a matter of choice.

		Filled with vivid characters and unforgettable scenes, and executed with a Tolstoyan flair on a huge canvas, The Forty Days of Musa Dagh is still unquestionably the most famous novel written about Armenians, and one of the best as well and still in print after almost 70 years.
		A best-seller in the 1930s and widely read down to this day, Werfel’s novel has probably singlehandedly informed more people about the Armenian Genocide than any other source.
