The murder of more than one million Armenians by the Ottoman
Turkish government in 1915 has been acknowledged as genocide. Yet
almost 100 years later, these crimes remain unrecognized by the
Turkish state. This book is the first attempt by a Turk to
understand the genocide from a perpetrator's, rather than victim's,
perspective, and to contextualize the events of 1915 within
Turkey's political history and western regional policies. Turkey
today is in the midst of a tumultuous transition. It is emerging
from its Ottoman legacy and on its way to recognition by the west
as a normal nation state. But until it confronts its past and
present violations of human rights, it will never be a truly
democratic nation. This book explores the sources of the Armenian
genocide, how Turks today view it, the meanings of Turkish and
Armenian identity, and how the long legacy of western intervention
in the region has suppressed reform, rather than promoted
democracy.
