Yanni - Nostalgia(Armenian Ballad Lyric Song)HD

Musa Dagh (Turkish: Musa Dağı, Arabic: موسى داغ‎, Jebel Musa, Armenian: Մուսա Լեռ, Musa Leṛ, meaning "Moses Mountain") was the site of resistance by the Armenians during the Armenian Genocide. The denizens of that region were violently expelled from their six villages (Kabusia (Kaboussieh), Yoghunoluk, Bitias, Vakef, Kheter Bey (Khodr Bey), Haji Habibli) by the Ottomans in 1915. As Ottoman Turkish forces converged upon the town, the populace aware of the impending danger fell back upon Musa mountain and repeatedly thwarted assaults for fifty-three days.[citation needed] Allied warships, most notably French, in the Mediterranean responded to distress signals and rescued the remaining survivors just as ammunition and food provisions were being exhausted.[citation needed] The warships then transported them to Port Said, Egypt. A tomb exists in the city of Port Said of some martyrs of Musa Dagh.
