Survivors into Minorities: Armenians in Post-Genocide Turkey

4:30 PM ET

Sponsored by:: Rohatyn Center for Global Affairs, History, Political Science, Religion, Russian, Charles P. Scott Center for Spiritual and Religious Life, Center for Comparative Study of Race & Ethnicity, European Studies, and Middle East Studies and North Africa Studies

This talk follows the trajectories of the survivors of the 1915 Armenian Genocide who remained inside Turkish borders after the signing of the 1918 Mudros Armistice (and during the Allied occupation years of Istanbul) and after the 1923 establishment of the new country as the Turkish Republic. How did the Kemalist state treat the remaining Armenians? What were Armenians’ responses to the new (but also old) Turkish regime?
