The Armenian Genocide has lately attracted a lot of attention,
despite the Turkish government's attempts at denial. It has been
developed into a central obstacle to Turkey's entry into the
European Union. As such it attracts the highest political and
public attention. What is largely ignored in the debate, however,
is the fact that Armenians were not the only victims of the Young
Turk's genocidal population policies. What is still largely
forgotten is the murder, expulsion and deportation of other ethnic
groups like Assyrians, Greeks, Kurds and Arabs by the Young Turks.
This not only increases the number of victims, but also changes the
perspective on the foundation of modern Turkey and as such on
modern Turkish history more generally. The Thematic Issue of the
JGR, the republication of which is proposed here, is the first
publication, which addresses these wider issues. It contributes not
only to our understanding of the Young Turks' population and
extermination policies in all its complexities and so helping to
bring the forgotten victims' stories "back" into genocide
scholarship, but to our understanding of modern Turkey more
generally. It is an indispensable tool for everybody interested in
one of the great historical controversies of our time.
This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of
Genocide Research.
