Abstract

Armenians were victims of the 20th century's first genocide. This article begins with a brief report about these people's history, the circumstances to this tragedy and the exodus that followed. The authors then undertake an analysis of the psychopathological features of this nostalgia in the Armenian Diaspora among the survivors and their exiled descendants. © 2008 Elsevier Masson SAS.
