Armenian Dictionary in Transliteration
Author: Thomas J. Samuelian
Publisher: Hippocrene Books
ISBN: 9780781802079
Category : English language
Languages : en
Pages : 139
Book Description
Although the dictionary's primary audience is the speaker unfamiliar with Armenian script, it also aims to serve a second audience, to which nearly all Western Armenian speakers belong, even the quite literate; namely, those who know how a word is pronounced, but are unsure how it is spelled. It is, in this way, a dictionary in transliteration and a speller's dictionary in one.

A Shameful Act
Author: Taner Akçam
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1466832126
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 586
Book Description
A landmark study of Turkish involvement in the Armenian genocide: A “groundbreaking and lucid account by a prominent Turkish scholar” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). In 1915, under the cover of a world war, some one million Armenians were killed through starvation, forced marches, exile, and mass acts of slaughter. Although Armenians and world opinion have held the Ottoman powers responsible, Turkey has consistently rejected claims of genocide. Now Turkish historian Taner Akçam has made extensive and unprecedented use of Ottoman and other sources to produce a scrupulous charge sheet against the Turkish authorities. The first scholar of any nationality to mine the significant evidence—in Turkish military and court records, parliamentary minutes, letters, and eyewitness accounts—Akçam follows the chain of events leading up to the killing and then reconstructs its systematic orchestration by coordinated departments of the Ottoman state, the ruling political parties, and the military. He also examines how Turkey succeeded in evading responsibility, pointing to competing international interests in the region, the priorities of Turkish nationalists, and the international community’s inadequate attempts to bring the perpetrators to justice.

The Rise of the Western Armenian Diaspora in the Early Modern Ottoman Empire
Author: Henry R. Shapiro
Publisher: Non-Muslim Contributions to Islamic Civilisation
ISBN: 9781474479615
Category : Armenians
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
How mass migration and a refugee crisis transformed Armenian culture in the 17th-century Ottoman Empire At the turn of the 17th century, the historical Armenian population centres in Eastern Anatolia and the Caucasus were ravaged by war with Persia, rebellion, famine and economic collapse. This instability caused mass migrations towards secure territories in Western Anatolia, Istanbul and Thrace, migrations which catalysed a renaissance of Armenian literary and cultural life in the Ottoman capital. This book traces the emergence, experiences and cultural and literary production of Armenian communities in and around Istanbul and the western provinces of the Ottoman Empire in the early modern period. Using both Ottoman Turkish and little-known Armenian sources, Henry Shapiro provides a systematic study of the Armenian population movements that resulted in the cosmopolitan remaking of Istanbul - and the birth of the Western Armenian diaspora. Key Features The first English-language book on Armenian cultural history in the early modern Ottoman Empire Based on original research using Armenian manuscripts and Ottoman Turkish archives Includes 3 black-and-white maps and 20 photographs of Armenian ruins, historical sites and manuscript pages Henry R. Shapiro is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Polansky Academy for Advanced Study at the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute.

"They Can Live in the Desert but Nowhere Else"
Author: Ronald Grigor Suny
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691175969
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 517
Book Description
A definitive history of the 20th century's first major genocide on its 100th anniversary Starting in early 1915, the Ottoman Turks began deporting and killing hundreds of thousands of Armenians in the first major genocide of the twentieth century. By the end of the First World War, the number of Armenians in what would become Turkey had been reduced by 90 percent—more than a million people. A century later, the Armenian Genocide remains controversial but relatively unknown, overshadowed by later slaughters and the chasm separating Turkish and Armenian interpretations of events. In this definitive narrative history, Ronald Suny cuts through nationalist myths, propaganda, and denial to provide an unmatched account of when, how, and why the atrocities of 1915–16 were committed. Drawing on archival documents and eyewitness accounts, this is an unforgettable chronicle of a cataclysm that set a tragic pattern for a century of genocide and crimes against humanity.
