A Reply to Michael Gunter ( Ijmes 40 [2008]: (728–29)
While avowing his concern for the “scholarly reputation of IJMES ,” Michael Gunter is denouncing my lack of “common sense” and my “audacity to argue incongruously” in the debate about the general validity of the Naim-Andonian documents. To substantiate his argument Gunter once more resorts to the method of truncation through deletions; the essential part of my phrase is deliberately excised from the quotation he used
The Prefiguration of Some Aspects of the Holocaust in the Armenian Genocide (Revisiting the Comparative Perspective)
The field of genocide studies has been marked by a comparative tendency, while at the same time scholarship on the Holocaust has tended to focus on its singularity; the Armenian Genocide has often been treated as representing a “dress rehearsal” for the Holocaust. This article examines the parallels and commonalities, as well as the differences, between the two events, with a view to drawing them into a comparative perspective. More specifically,…
The Agency of “Triggering Mechanisms” as a Factor in the Organization of the Genocide Against the Armenians of Kayseri District
Using the notion of a ''triggering mechanism'' as a guidepost, this article details the sequence of events precipitated by the accidental explosion of a bomb a young Armenian was tinkering with in anticipation of a new round of massacres he hoped to obviate.The ensuing massive and indiscriminate arrests throughout the length and breadth of the district, the attendant use of a variety of methods of torture, and the eventual eradication of the bulk…

The Armenian Question and the Wartime Fate of Thearmenians as Documented by the Officials of the Ottomanempire's World War I Allies: Germany Andaustria–hungary
The wartime fate of the Ottoman Empire's Armenian minority continues to be controversial. The debate in the main revolves around the causes and nature of that fate. Some historians have alleged that what is involved is centrally organized mass murder—or, to use contemporary terminology, genocide. This school of thought maintains that the Ottoman authorities were waiting for a suitable opportunity to undertake the wholesale liquidation of the empi…

This article examines the indictments, proceedings, and verdicts of a number of important trials of perpetrators of the Armenian genocide.

The Secret Young-Turk Ittihadist Conference and the Decision for the World War I Genocide of the Armenians
This article presents and analyzes a Turkish World War I document regarding the decision to embark on the genocide of the Armenians in the Ottoman Empire. The document was discovered and translated in early 1919 by British officials in Turkey who dubbed it “The Ten Commandments.” The roles of the mllitary, the gendarmerie, and the calculated incitement of the masses on religious and nationalistic grounds were central to the planning and implement…
The History and Sociology of Genocide
Towards a Theory of Genocide Incorporating the Instance of Holocaust: Comments, Criticisms and Suggestions
Following some criticisms on views expressed in a previous article on the concept of genocide, as related to the Jewish case, this essay seeks to explain the crucial significance of the set of conditions that actually produce genocide, antecedent ideologies and subsequent demographic outcomes are treated as ancillary factors The frame of mind and the resolve of the group enacting genocide are treated as paramount factors. As applied to the Jewish…
The Convergent Aspects of the Armenian and Jewish Cases of Genocide. A Reinterpretation of the Concept of Holocaust
Every victimized group feels itself and its experience to be unique. For both Armenians and Jews, the sense of uniqueness begins with the origins of their nationhood, which are largely religious in nature. Each people has tenaciously clung to its religion and nationhood in the face of centuries of being victimized minorities existing outside the ‘universe of obligation’ of the dominant group. Both peoples suffered a genocide whose perpetrators' i…

The Role of Turkish Physicians in the World War I Genocide of Ottoman Armenians
The research which has been done into the Turkish genocide of Armenians in World War I has seldom dealt with the identities of the perpetrators. This study reveals the crucial role played by Turkish physicians in planning and carrying out this genocide. These physicians were influential in propagating the nationalist ideological justifications for this crime, as well as in organizing and leading units which killed Armerians through mass deportati…
The Naim-Andonian Documents on the World War I Destruction of Ottoman Armenians: The Anatomy of a Genocide
The protracted Turko-Armenian conflict, marked by intermittent massacres, was violently resolved during World War I. By governmental decree the bulk of the Armenian population of the Ottoman Empire was uprooted from its ancestral territories and was committed to a process of deportation that became a process of destruction. The provinces in the interior of Turkey with heavy concentrations of Armenians were thus completely denuded of their indigen…
