A DAINTY silver slipper, a hand-engraved copper bowl. Silva Ozyerli, an ethnic Armenian, runs a loving finger over these and other family treasures strewn across 
her dinner table in Istanbul. They are due to go on display at a new museum of Armenian culture in Ms Ozyerli’s native city of Diyarbakir at the end of 2013.
Turkey denies that mass killings took place, insisting that the Armenians had perished from hunger and disease during their forced march to the deserts of Syria. (The Ottoman government deported the Armenians, notionally for their safety, as the empire collapsed. Yet thousands were massacred as they marched, and countless others were killed before they set off.) Local school textbooks perpetuate this myth.
Granting permission to restore Surp Giragos is seen as part of a larger government campaign to placate diaspora Armenians, who have been lobbying governments around the world to recognise the genocide. When Surp Giragos reopened in 2011, after lying in ruins for more than 20 years, it became Turkey’s first church to be revived as a permanent place of worship.
“The museum is a way of showing that thousands of Armenians contributed to the city’s wealth and culture,” explains Ergun Ayik of the Surp Giragos Foundation, which runs the church. “People will look at the photographs, the objects, and wonder where did all these people go?”
Yet a growing number of Turkish Armenians are reclaiming their heritage. In 2010 hundreds flocked to the island of Akdamar in the eastern province of Van to attend an inaugural mass at the newly restored Church of the Holy Cross. (The church is now a museum, but holds mass on religious holidays.) Turkey’s culture ministry has obliged with a list of other ancient churches that it plans to restore, says Osman Kavala, a Turkish philanthropist who is helping to promote Turkish-Armenian reconciliation. And Armenian-language lessons, available since last year in Diyarbakir’s historic Sur district, are increasingly popular among Turkey’s so-called “invisible Armenians” who had abandoned their culture in order to survive. Abdullah Demirbas, the district’s mayor, argues that the Kurds must also make amends for their complicity in the genocide.
Armenians applaud these efforts, even as they note a persistent strain of Turkish nationalism that perceives non-Muslim minorities as suspect. The government’s conversion of several Greek Orthodox churches into mosques, together with its recent espousal of unabashedly Islamist rhetoric, heightens some concerns that efforts to appease Armenians are cynical and short-sighted.
But such worries were pleasantly absent during a recent afternoon in Surp Giragos, as tourists gazed at the church’s repaired altars and onion-domed belfry (which had been destroyed by the Ottomans in 1916 because it dwarfed surrounding minarets). The church is drawing hundreds of people every day. “Many of them are Islamised Armenians like me,” laughs Gafur Turkay of the Surp Giragos Foundation. “The truth about 1915 cannot be concealed,” says Mr Ayik’s daughter Pelin. “But as a young Armenian I don’t want to be pitied as a victim. I am the proud torchbearer of a rich civilisation that not only has survived but continues to thrive.”

Prime Minister of the Australian New South Wales (NSW) Barry O’Farrell and other officials resisted the Turkish government’s threats to ban them from the Gallipoli 
celebrations, ABC writes.
The threats were voiced after NSW parliament adopted a resolution recognizing the 1915 Armenian Genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire.
Responding to Turkish officials, Barry O’Farrell noted that the fact cannot be denied.
“What a terrible indictment by the consul general of the freedom that was fought for on the Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915. The truth will set people free, history should never be denied, otherwise it is likely to be repeated,” the Premier said.
Transport Minister Gladys Berejiklian, who is of Armenian origin, said the Australians stand aside by their ability to express the views freely and this “freedom is exactly what was fought for in Gallipoli in 1915.”

The minutes of the Armenian National Assembly, the Armenian primary sources such as reports reaching akademiysen the official historiography mechanisms to ignore these resources, denial sıradanlaşan applications in everyday life, a new conceptual propositions are revealing. On the occasion of this thesis contemplates the LMU Soykırımsonrasıtarihyazımı still working as a lecturer in the Department of Studies in Turkey Suciyan’la interviewed Tallinn.
Are commonplace, and many other fields remanufactured established habitusudur denied. Soykırımsonrası deny the state and the individual imagination of habitus both in Turkey and in consequence, has created an important socializing. This is the daily life of all of us Talat Paşa Primary Ergenekon Street or Armenians, Jews, Greeks, Assyrians, Kurds, Alevis as anti-entered.
If taken as a priority target in these groups, all the groups targeted by the state, or religious leftists have become the target and victim of the same unbelievers habitus. Habitus is no exception to this law. ‘Insulting Turkishness’ cases and the social and legal effect of these cases / structure, or expropriation, confiscation of property is a part of the same mediocrity. In this case, the sense of justice in society are also eliminated. The sense of justice on the Republican establishment, the case example of how you can comforting consciences?
However, many times to change the names of the village is a part of the same mediocrity. The inclusion of military areas that are part of the cultural heritage of buildings, making the state agency, or to use as a barn destruction of dynamite, the presence of people who lived in these areas, anlamsızlaştırılması cultural heritage, through the elimination of these assets, when combined with edilmesidir.Bütün casual racism and denial of annihilation sıradanlaşır.
For example, trying to live in Northern Mesopotamia, Asia Minor and buried its dead face attacks on Armenians, Armenian, street children, school exits face racist attacks, when going out in Tokat remaining Jews “Jewish malady, swallows the entire nation – the Jewish collar bit, iti our street,” he being exposed through the media of racism or ethnic / religious groups openly attack, degrade, sıradanlaşır members in the same way as targets.
Insert the mentality of unbelievers, the state, society, street through him, with him örgütlediğinizde, it is now agreed otherwise not think of one situation reveals a mediocrity. This together with the Republic institutionalized very quickly. Still waiting to read up on the history of the Republic of understanding the mechanisms of denial business. Turkey can recover from a percentage of the freedoms denied clamp itself, a country can be a sense of justice and social peace will be established.
First of all, I reached my only, but in general, the reputation of both the number of Armenian sources with the Republican period, as well as a wide variety of told him that. Be able to say the same thing for the pre-Republican. My research began in the 1930s was about the end of 1950 publications and resources collecting browsing this period is not possible for all the time I get it. ‘No BarperaganMamuliMadenakidutyun’ (1794-1967) (the Armenian Periodicals Bibliography) between 1924 and 1950, the number of 71 to 94, giving two separate. Even if we accept the first of these numbers is correct, this is still a very high number for a doctoral dissertation research. Therefore, future researchers with the history of the Republic of material ready for a busy Armenian sources.
Survivors in the United States in the 1980s, 1915, oral history work, or that cities around the world, having produced a live Armenian historiography books are not part of the Ottoman Empire and Turkey.
In the same way all the sources I used in my thesis is not only the history of the Armenians, the Republic of Turkey is a part of historiography. However, as Western Armenian, Greek, Ladino, Syriac, Arabic, Kurdish, other than those imposed on the rate of becoming excluded from the historiography. In this case, the language resources are becoming sources of silence
‘Insulting Turkishness’ cases and the social and legal effect of these cases / structure, or expropriation, confiscation of property is a part of the same mediocrity. In this case, the sense of justice in society are also eliminated. The sense of justice on the Republican establishment, the case example of how you can comforting consciences?
Armenians from the 1930s to understand the transformation of institutions and society in general, NorLur, Ngar, Panper, NorHuys, NorLuys, as well as newspapers, yearbooks SurpPırgiç Hospital, as well as for the years 1940 Marmara, NorLur, NorOr, Aysor, newspapers and Paros TebiLuys , yine1940’lı years, starting from the late 1950s until the YerçanigDarekirk’e (Happy Year) and looked Yıllıkları’na Bardez. Jamanak newspaper in part, subject-based scanned. Starting from 2003, took advantage of some of the issues of Agos. These reports are prepared by committees of the Assembly, the Armenian National Assembly, minutes, and it was a very important primary sources.
These resources are not only light on the history of Armenians in Turkey in terms of social and political history gives important clues. Historiography of the Ottoman Empire and Turkey, as well as many popular show them the memories of the patriarch is very important, especially before and after 1915, and offers a wide variety of information. Unfortunately, I could not reach the memory of the patriarch of the Republican period. Patriarch Mesrob Naroyan’ın lot of memories of the 1930s, even a few lines telling quotations. Another important source of information for the period leading lights of memories. Taurus Azadyan’ın ‘LipananyanHuşer’ (Memoirs of Lebanon), the moment of Aras Publishing books, such as ‘Step Agop hometown slap’ or ‘BatmutyunMalatyoHayots’ (History of the Armenians of Malatya), ‘BadmutyunYozgatiyevŞırçagayitsHayots’ (History of the Armenians living in and around Yozgat) as parts of the city for the period of the Republic of historical books on local history offers important resources. Also published in Armenia Gatoğigos VI. Especially in the history of Armenians in Turkey as well as letters written by George, II. The period after World War II, Soviet Armenia, Turkey,
Armenians all over the world, and a very valuable resource in the context of politics.
Of course, in addition to the Prime Minister of the Republic of Archives, as primary sources, especially non-Muslims, and in particular against the Armenians in the Republican period, the policy of the state in general, are important in understanding. In addition, the Armenians living in different places, was born and my oral history work, the documentation was deep-saving daily life experiences.
Armenian press of the period I had the chance to work with a large newspaper archive, and thus understood that the different functions of the Armenian newspapers. Armenian newspapers in the Republic of Armenian history in a systematic learning function, see the impossibility of creating awareness is an important date. Armenian newspapers tıpkıbasımlar the difficulty of achieving the primary sources, the patriarchate, gatoğigosluk releases, legislation, application changes, it is important biographical information, memories, Turkish newspapers Armenians Armenian news-letter Turkish translations as text or quotes, quotations from newspapers around the world, the Armenian diaspora in other malls about what’s happening in the news, foundations and community day to day monitoring of cases related to the property, easy to reach, such as insulting texts relevant to their cases have more news. An important part of these functions caused by the Armenians continues today in the newspapers.
Social sciences and historiography of the 20th century, around two important debates fed. One of them is 20 and the other sömürgecilikse century was that century of genocide, the Holocaust, especially the European intellectual, social, political, cultural and artistic life The impact of changes in these areas can not be separated. However, these two issues in the area of Turkey and the Ottoman historiography was unfortunately too late.
For example, his research and publications signatures The ödettirilen costs due to what can be done in Turkey, is a clear sign of what academics. On the Ottoman colonialism to be broadcast today, it is still the fingers of both hands until we understand that many of the English? Holocaust literature figures expressed or built from tens of thousands all over the world literature in Turkey cılızlığını How can we explain this? Of course, in turn, “But I have this book, this book is” there will be those. But I’m talking about is not this or that publication, a consciousness that has not been created, the creation of more awareness is blocked. Europe, the United States-led studies in Turkey or India was gripped by decades of denial. At this moment, however, talk about how the Armenian historiography in Turkey, is a professional?
Only one to deny deny, but to create a new narrative, creating new areas of interest and to support the development of these areas requires to sit on the main theme. Prof. Hans-LukasKieser’in’Iskalanmış Peace ‘as he said in his book ten years of partnership with Turkey called the state historian studies in Turkey and abroad. Kieser said this partnership as an essential condition I. World War I, the Armenian and Kurdish issues, the Christian missions, and in general about the Christian heritage of Anatolia yapmamaktı research. Thus, the absence of Jews in Turkey and the Ottoman historiography of the history of Germany and the Indians into a California not. This situation began to change, but since the early 1990s
Insert the mentality of unbelievers, the state, society, street through him, with him örgütlediğinizde, it is now agreed otherwise not think of one situation reveals a mediocrity. This together with the Republic institutionalized very quickly and became a part of the social space. Still waiting to read up on the history of the Republic of understanding the mechanisms of denial of a business
Thesis is based on the life experince remaining Armenians in Turkey wanted to determine the date range. In this regard, the source offers plenty of single-party period, the foundation trustees of a single application of the management of the Armenian undermine the Regulation, which continue to come to Istanbul Armenians in Asia Minor and northern Mesopotamia, patriarchal authority removed from being the center of social and political power, religious area compressed so important developments took over the heritage of the Republic created in 1915 by denying those between -23 and dilemmas.
Trying to understand these developments from the 1930s, particularly in the period 1944-1950 crisis, the choice between the patriarch tried to look. This date coincides with the turning point for Turkey, but most important. II. After World War II international environment, Turkey’s position, relations with the USSR, Stalin Armenians migrated to the call, then re-power Eçmiadzin’in1930’lu years recovering from the crisis and the role of politics in the international arena to do Armenians in Turkey, the Patriarch Mesrob Naroyan’ın BaşepiskoposKevorkArslanyan’ın instead of sudden death in 1944, the trustee appointed to prepare the way for elections rather than on the legacy of the late patriarch management SurpPırgiç Hospital after a serious legal struggle and not to organize the selection of the patriarchs, first of all the actors mentioned later in Istanbul Armenians had reason to be involved in an international crisis.
In general, the weakest actor in the Republican period, the Armenians in Turkey were not even all the international conjuncture, the position assigned to them acting strikingly apparent fraudulent representation, but even in this case the task expected of them üstlenmeleriydi. General position, which the actor himself in various newspapers editors wrote articles expressing periods slippery floor or directly from the newspapers are closed. II. One of the most important issues during and after World War II kampanyalarıydı Armenian hostility.
These campaigns conducted in the field of national and international Armenian newspapers published in Istanbul and all that had to respond to comments about political issues or completely shut down as a result, or the editors of these newspapers incarceration, placing, causing to leave the country. Short-lived and the newspaper publishing daily life NorOr issuers to leave the country before the arrest and then only one of the examples given to it.
We also continued during the period of the Republic of Armenian girls’ abduction. One of the main reasons they come to Istanbul Armenians living outside the Istanbul Armenian families have to live with the danger of being kidnapped their daughter and that they were to reach a degree. The school can not open outside of Istanbul Armenians was a Republican dilemma.
There were certainly on paper, but in practice the opening of the Armenian school of Rights were forbidden. These are the reasons that make the Armenians obligation in terms of just the two of you to go to Istanbul. Ultimately in 1915, after the perpetrator and the victim’s co-inhabited regions, as everyone knows, what is going on every day, and everyone was aware of the places where each other’s face looked. Oral history banality of this situation is clearly seen in the work and memories.
Habitus and the remaining Armenians in Turkey during diasporaCumhuriyet looking at the history of the history of the Republic, and in general I find most useful tools. I understand it is that all the research I’ve done, by the denial of the elite Republican history between 1915 and 1923, it is found international support mechanisms and institutionalization of the entire state of denial with the existing street, the neighborhood, and remanufactured accepted almost all social areas revealed a habitus.
This habitusta racism, conception of justice is turned upside down, attacking Muslims or normality audiences targeted by the state, it would not constitute a criminal conviction and therefore established the practice of everyday life. So insulting normality of cases, ‘Talk to Turkish citizens’ campaigns created by the media, Wealth Tax, 20 Kura military applications, especially in Istanbul Armenians living outside the school, weddings, while burying their dead or setting off dynamite gömemezken churches faced racist attacks or something they witnessed, while avoid, all of which have been accepted behaviors, judgments, and values are whole. Although before it is launched in the state and its institutions in the street, you find quite a large reflection. Thus, a denial of mediocrity, constantly reproduces itself as a state of normality.
The second concept, the concept of diaspora. Other communities in the Diaspora Armenians remaining in Turkey and Armenia and the diaspora is not a separate position, because it is said to live in their own homeland. However, this opinion is an important part of the concept of the 1930-40s years of the Kemalist state archives of the Prime Minister of the Republic can be seen easily. Archives of the Republic of the many reports on the Armenian press in an Armenian newspaper ‘other Armenian colonies’ whether or not bond with them, gave special attention to the news about how much space is shown. The eyes of public opinion formation of an Armenian newspaper, one of the most basic criteria for relations with the diaspora. In addition, all the anti-Armenian campaigns, the Armenians themselves ‘poor Armenians outside’ reservation and asked to bring itself in line with the official policy of Turkey aynıyla that applies today.
From the outset of the Kemalist state approach, the need to demand the right to block the remaining Armenians goods returned to Turkey, through the control of the press and media as well as the remaining Armenians in Turkey, the separation from relatives scattered all over the world, used the practice of organizing them against each other. Supported the policies of the Republican era deportations continue, given the decisions of relocation if necessary, that the Armenian diaspora has made on the land where they live. Yozgat have had to come to Istanbul, the Armenians in the same situation where thousands of displaced people die centers, broke, unemployed, homeless and hungry people, how can we say that they are not the diaspora?
The nation-state, nationalism, minority explaining concepts such as the practice of the republican period in Turkey is inadequate. Because of a situation beyond these concepts, soykırımsonrası soykırımsonrası state and society, there is the matter. Of the concept of Diaspora in this direction, I think we should be reconsidered in order to include these realities. But here is not only the perceptions and feelings, institutional, social, cultural, economic, historical, structural changes in the exit path is recommended. In particular experiences of the Armenians remaining in Turkey would be an important contribution of this literature.
Holy Savior Hospital is a large part of the research in the garden room, a storage place like I did. VarujanKöseyan collected on a regular basis since 1927, saving it in the newspaper recycling volumes dizmişti shelves. If you do not have resources, it would be very important for the period of the Republic had not done it. Therefore, we owe it to Baron Varujan’a history. Approximately five months of the year for two years prior to his death he was closely followed what I was doing, and he was having a warehouse.
For me the most important part of this study is its dostluğuydu. Oral history conversations made many times in history the securities and scientific study, in which the horizon for me açıcıydı rigor. After the death of hospital management, especially discontinue the opportunity to work Arsen provided Yarman. Right now, as far as rearranging the store and began to work to prepare an archive room, I found there, and of course all my heart shall be available for use by researchers in periodicals archive VarujanKöseyan the archive name to give it.

By defence correspondent Michael Brissenden
The Turkish Government has threatened to ban all members of the NSW Parliament from attending the centenary commemorations at Gallipoli in 2015.
The move comes in response to motions passed unanimously by the parliament in May officially recognising the Armenian genocide.
The notion of a genocide has long been a contentious point of debate for Turks many of whom argue that it is a misrepresentation of history.
But many scholars and other eyewitness accounts, some from Anzac Prisoners of War who were interned in empty Armenian churches, witnessed the deportation and emptying out of Armenian villages and support the genocide claims.
The pilgrimage to Gallipoli has become almost a rite of passage for young Australians. It is, for many, about connecting with a national identity.
But as they stand bleary eyed at the dawn service wrapped in the flag, few would know that in 1915 as Australian soldiers were forging their own national mythology on the beaches of Anzac Cove – elsewhere in Turkey the Ottoman regime was conducting the wholesale removal and destruction of another national identity.
That process of deportations, forced marches and executions began in the area known as Anatolia just days before the ANZACS landed at Gallipoli.
But many historians fear that as we approach the centenary of both events, the Anzac legend and the Gallipoli industry that has sprung up around it may obscure the other important commemoration.
The Christian campaigner and NSW Upper House MP Fred Nile was the force behind the unanimous motions passed by both houses of the NSW Parliament.
He says the Armenians have no time for arguments about definitions or the sensitivities of the modern Turkish state.
Mr Nile has just returned from a tour of Armenia with a cross-party delegation.
“(The Ottoman Turks) just eliminated people systematically – community by community, village by village”, he says.
“In fact it’s interesting that when Adolf Hitler planned the genocide of the Jews there were some questions asked and he said himself ‘Don’t worry, who remembers the Armenian genocide?’ Who remembers it?”
And genocide scholars also have no doubts.
Colin Tatz is a world renowned genocide expert who has spent his entire career investigating racial extermination from Nazi Germany through to the Australian frontier wars.
“There is categorical evidence that what happened between 1915 and 1922 was genocide of the Armenians, the Pontian Greeks and the Assyrian communities to the extent of roughly half of their population”.
Those individuals who show no respect to our history will not be welcome in Turkey
Turkish Consul General Gulseren Celik
Scholars like professor Tatz put the final death toll at about one-and-a-half million people and he says many Armenians have welcomed the NSW Parliamentary motions.
Around the world Turkish efforts to prevent any official recognition of genocide have been remarkably successful.
Only 21 countries have passed a resolution to that effect. The British government and the United States government have not, although 43 US states have, and neither has the Australian Government.
The Turkish Consul General Gulseren Celik says she is confident the Federal Parliament has no intention of following what she describes as the “outrageous” NSW motions.
“We expect Australians to show the same kind of respect that we have shown to their history and their ancestry,” she said.
“Those individuals who show no respect to our history will not be welcome in Turkey.”
The Turkish foreign minister Ahmet Davutoglu has hit back in a press release.
“These persons who try to damage the spirit of Canakkle/Gallipoli will also not have their place in the Canakkale ceremonies where we commemorate our sons lying side by side in our soil,” he said.
The local council at Gallipoli has also made it clear the critics will not be welcome at the centenary celebrations in 2015.
“We announce to the public that we will not forgive those who are behind these decisions and that we don’t want to see them in Canakkale anymore,” it said.
When asked by the ABC if this meant that NSW Premier Barry O’Farrell, and indeed the entire NSW Parliament would not be given visas to attend the centenary commemorations, Gulseren Celik replied, “yes”.
In her letter to the NSW Parliament Ms Celik dismissed the evidence of Anzac PoWs as a fabrication.
“As we near the centenary of the Gallipoli Campaign the proponents of the so-called genocide will continue their quest to try to hijack the very special bond that exists between our two countries by fabricating that Anzac soldiers who were PoW were witnesses to these so-called allegations,” she said.
The link between the Anzacs, Gallipoli and the Armenian genocide is a sensitive area for all, wrapped as it is in the legend of two nations who both cling to the significance that this one military campaign has had on their national identities.
Turkish officials are frequent visitors to the Australian war memorial, for instance, and Armenian Australians have long been critical of the influence they believe the Turks have had on the way the memorial has depicted the Australian World War I experience.
World War I galleries are currently being renovated but in the past public exhibitions glossed over the Armenian experience with no mention of genocide.
Although some information has been posted on the War Memorial’s website, it has shied away from the events, saying that at this stage they will not be including this story in the new galleries as the World War I gallery space is limited and only so many stories can be told.
But World War I historians, such as Peter Stanley who worked for many years at the War Memorial, say 2015 should be an occasion that allows both countries to be bigger than their national self interest.
“I would expect that it would be covered in proportion by an Australian institution that is explaining to us the First World War as a whole,” he said.
“I think the Turks are expecting that the friendship we forged through Gallipoli, which is genuine, is enough to paper over our knowledge of the Armenian genocide but the fact of the matter is it isn’t.
“Australians want to know the truth about the First World War and the truth about the Great War is that a million-and-half Armenians died at the hands of the Ottoman Empire.”

PanARMENIAN.Net – Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan seems to have succeeded in spoiling ties with half the countries in the Near East, including major players like Egypt and Syria. Monarchies in the Gulf are, clearly, next in turn.
Erdogan has merely confirmed that the Islamic brotherhood, if it actually exists, implies Arabs’ submission to Ottomans. Which, in turn, can’t rejoice Arab states who’ve retained vivid memories of the Ottoman rule. Turkey might be facing an adequate response, if Egypt, Syria and Lebanon were to recognize the Armenian Genocide. The first signal came from Egypt – the most politically significant country of the Arab East.
Egypt’s interim leader pledged to recognize the Armenian Genocide in response to statements by Erdogan condemning “the coup” in Egypt and announcing Islamist Mohammed Morsi a legitimate President.
“The document will be formally submitted to the UN on Monday, August 19,” Adly Mansour said in his Twitter post. “Our representatives in the UN will sign an international document recognizing the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey which led to the deaths of millions,” the Coptic leader said.
It was in Egypt’s Port Said that survivors of the Genocide found refuge in 1915, with heroes of Musa Dagh Resistance, actors, public figures buried in Cairo’s old Armenian cemetery.
Armenians always played a major role in the life of Egypt. Armenian-born Nubar Pasha Nubarian became the first PM and foreign minister of Egypt, with streets in Cairo and Alexandria named after the politician who garnered numerous titles and awards during his lifetime. His son Boghos Nubar Pasha founded the Armenian Great Benevolent Union (AGBU) in 1906. Before Gamal Abdel Nasser’s presidency in 1952, 60000 Armenians lived in Cairo and about 30000 in Alexandria.
So, the Coptic interim leader’s statement might turn to be well founded. It’s all good on one hand, but on the other, the Genocide issue is becoming a tool for political speculations. It might also become an instrument for taming Erdogan, if it’s at all possible. And Syria might follow Egypt’s suit in recognizing the Genocide. Well, let’s wait and see – the important thing is that the possibility was mentioned by Mansour.
