Open Wounds: Armenians, Turks and a Century of Genocide

Vicken Cheterian

4.9/5 (30084 ratings)

Description:The assassination in Istanbul in 2007 of the author Hrant Dink, a high-profile advocate of Turkish-Armenian reconciliation, reignited the debate in Turkey on the annihilation of the Ottoman Armenians. Many Turks subsequently re-awakened to their Armenian heritage, reflecting on how their grandparents were forcibly Islamised and Turkified, and the suffering they endured to keep their stories secret. There was public debate around Armenian property confiscated by the Turkish state and the extermination of the minorities. At last the silence had been broken. Open Wounds: Armenians, Turks and a Century of Genocide explains how, after the First World War, the new Turkish Republic forcibly erased the memory of the atrocities, and traces of Armenians, from their historic lands-a process to which the international community turned a blind eye. The price for this amnesia was, Vicken Cheterian argues, 'a century of genocide'.Turkish intellectuals acknowledge the price society must pay collectively to forget such traumatic events, and that Turkey cannot solve its recurrent conflicts with its minorities-like the Kurds today-nor have an open and democratic society without addressing the original sin on which the state was founded: the Armenian Genocide.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
