To date, little is known of the Vatican’s involvement with Armenians during World War I and its aftermath. This is because Vatican archives have been inaccessible to English speaking scholars. However, the recent translation of Mario Carolla’s excellent book, “Vatican Diplomacy and the Armenian Question: The Holy See’s Response to the Republic of Armenia, 1918-1922”, presents, for the first time, a detailed account of the Vatican’s involvement with Armenians. Carolla’s work rests on original documents from Vatican Archives, most of which have never been subject to scholarly scrutiny. These documents have been reproduced alongside his analysis, and the majority of his Italian documents have been translated into English.
