Communist Armenian Women’s History: Hai Guine of Postwar France and the Feminist Repatriation to Soviet Armenia (1947-1949)
A most fascinating chapter of Armenian women’s history unfolded in France during and immediately after WWII. In 1942, led by the novelist and poet LAS (Louise Aslanian), Armenian women participants of the French Resistance founded the Fransahay Ganants Miutyun (“Union des femmes arméniennes”) in Paris. In the first two years of its existence the Union was an underground organization. While LAS was arrested a month before the liberation of Paris a…
Mourning Bliss: Remaining Armenian(s) in Occupied Constantinople
In lieu of an abstract:Given the previously unimaginable horrors Ottoman Armenians went through during World War I, “the post-Armistice Years” has had a very different meaning for Armenians than it has for any other group. One cannot understand the mütareke yılları without grasping the magnitude of the destruction that came right before it
Of Dark Pasts and Pipe Dreams: The Turkish University
At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Department of History we offer a course called “MIT and Slavery.” It is taught by Professor Craig S. Wilder who wrote a book about the intertwined history of the American universities and slavery. How this course came to be illuminates important changes in American academia in the last decade or so. It is also extremely inspiring. As an Armenian from Turkey who works on the history of Armenians i…

Republic of Paradox: The League of Nations Minority Protection Regime and the New Turkey's Step-Citizens
This article focuses on the years after World War I, especially the first decade following the 1923 establishment of the Republic of Turkey, in order to analyze the position of minorities in the developing “we” of the new nation as projected by its political elite. Situating the discussion in the context of the League of Nations interwar minority protection regime, I demonstrate that the Treaty of Lausanne, which the Ankara government and the All…
A Climate for Abduction, a Climate for Redemption: The Politics of Inclusion during and after the Armenian Genocide
This article explores a forcible, wartime transfer of women and minors from one ethnic group to another, and its partial reversal after the war. I analyze the historical conditions that enabled the original transfer, and then the circumstances that shaped the reverse transfer. The setting is Istanbul during and immediately after World War I, and the protagonists are various influential agents connected to the Ottoman Turkish state and to the Arme…
