Fresno: Ümit Kurt to speak on “Why Does Turkey Deny the Armenian Genocide?”

February 13, 2016 By administrator

Umit-KurtArmenian Studies Program, California State University, Fresno.

“Why Does Turkey Deny the Armenian Genocide?” will be addressed in a talk by Clark University doctoral candidate Ümit Kurt at 7:30PM on Wednesday, February 10, in the University Business Center, Alice Peters Auditorium, Room 191, on the Fresno State campus.

The lecture is the third in the Armenian Studies Program Spring 2016 Lecture Series, with the support of the Leon S. Peters Foundation.

One of the most important—and possibly the most sensitive—landmarks of modern Turkish history and the formation of Turkey’s political and socio-cultural climate is the Armenian Genocide. By the same token, this issue is a taboo in Turkish political history. The question widely asked is “Why does Turkey deny the Armenian Genocide?” This question should be examined at two levels: state and society. It is correct to say that there has been a strong state denialism of the Armenian Genocide in Turkey. Yet, one should also bear in mind that this strong state denialism has also been supported and reinforced by different sections of society. In this lecture, Kurt will analyze societal dimensions of Turkish denialism of Armenian genocide and also explore the reasons behind Turkey’s inability to come to terms with its past.

Ümit Kurt is a PhD. Candidate at Holocaust and Genocide Studies Program in the History Department of Clark University and completing his dissertation. He has written

extensively on confiscation of Armenian properties, Armenian Genocide, early modern Turkish nationalism, and Aintab Armenians. He is the author of the Great, hopeless Turkish race: fundamentals of Turkish nationalism in the Turkish homeland 1911-1916 (Istanbul: İletişim Publishing House, 2012) and editor of the Revolt and Destruction: Construction of the state from Ottoman Empire to Turkish Republic and collective violence (Istanbul: Tarih Vakfı Publishing House, 2015). He teaches history at Sabancı University in Istanbul and is the author, with Taner Akçam, of The spirit of the laws: the plunder of wealth in the Armenian Genocide (New York and Oxford: Berghahn Books, 2015).

The lecture is free and open to the public. Free parking is available, with a parking code, in Fresno State Lots P5 and P6, near the University Business Center.

For more information about the lecture please contact the Armenian Studies Program at 278-2669, or visit our website at www.fresnostate.edu/armenianstudies.

February 8, 2015 By administrator

IMG_4928_1280x853_-480x320-480x320Regional peace is one of the immediate issues that is top of U.S. Embassy’s agenda, U.S. Ambassador to Armenia Richard Mills said during a swearing-in ceremony in Washington on Friday.

“The sharp rise in violence and casualties along the Nagorno-Karabakh line of conflict over the past year is deeply troubling and it is in no nation’s interest. The United States appreciates Armenia’s commitment to resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict” peacefully,” he said.

He reiterated Washington’s commitment to helping the parties reach a peaceful, negotiated settlement through the Minsk Group process.

“In Yerevan, I will make it a priority to coordinate with Ambassador James Warlick, the U.S. Co-Chair of the Minsk Group, on how the Embassy and I can assist his efforts to quell this troubling upsurge in violence and find a peaceful settlement,” Mills emphasized.

Turkish writer at the cost of his life ready to speak up about Armenian genocide 
 and the freedom

November 30, 2014 By administrator

YEREVAN, ARMENPRESS:

turkish-writer-serkan-enginTurkish writer Serkan Engin considers it an obligation from his conscience to talk about the Armenian, Greek and I Assyrian genocides in Turkey.

This is an ethical duty for me as an honest and honorable intellectual. This is my debt and obligation to humanity. 

I want to talk about all these genocides perpetrated my Turk ancestors,

because in Turkey you must declare the truth loudly, against the lies of the so-called official history.

I’m the child who shouts “The Emperor is naked”. I’m devoting myself to the truth at the cost of my life
and freedom, because I want to create and increase awareness about these atrocities, so that similar
crimes against humanity won’t be perpetrated again.

I refuse to be “proud of” my ancestors who raped little girls, burned children alive, enslaved women and
brutally slaughtered millions of innocent people,” the l.az-Turkish poet told Armenpress.

“I refuse to shout “How happy is he, who says I’m a Turk” every morning in school playgrounds. I reject the education system which tells our children a racist motto like “One Turk is equal to the whole world”.
I don’t want to see any fascist youth in my country, or in any other country. We have to tell our kids “Every
humans of the world are equal to each other, whatever their ethnicity, language, belief or gender. 1 want
an education system in Turkey which reveals the importance of art, philosophy, and science,” he said.

Serkan Engin is against all kind of heroic tales, because politicians, generals and arms industry corporations use heroic tales for their own benefits, so that they can send poor young men to the war zones to kill each other.

“I’m an anti-militarist and proud of this. My heart and my pen are my only weapons. 1 stand behind all the oppressed people in the world, as an internationalist socialist poet and author, and my mission is to be the voice of them. I’m a little child in an adult’s body who wants to love the whole world with childish
pureness,” the writer stressed.
