Musa Daghとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Musa Dagh (Turkish: Musa Dağı, Ottoman Turkish: موسى داغ, Arabic: جبل موسى‎ 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. 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. The warships then transported them to Port Said, Egypt. A tomb exists in the city of Port Said of some martyrs of Musa Dagh.
