The eastern provinces of the Ottoman Empire used to be a
multi-ethnic region where Armenians, Kurds, Syriacs, Turks, and
Arabs lived together in the same villages and cities. The
disintegration of the Ottoman Empire and rise of the nation state
violently altered this situation. Nationalist elites intervened in
heterogeneous populations they identified as objects of knowledge,
management, and change. These often violent processes of state
formation destroyed historical regions and emptied multicultural
cities, clearing the way for modern nation states.
The Making of Modern Turkey highlights how the Young Turk regime,
from 1913 to 1950, subjected Eastern Turkey to various forms of
nationalist population policies aimed at ethnically homogenizing
the region and incorporating it in the Turkish nation state. It
examines how the regime utilized technologies of social
engineering, such as physical destruction, deportation, spatial
planning, forced assimilation, and memory politics, to increase
ethnic and cultural homogeneity within the nation state. Drawing on
secret files and unexamined records, Ugur Umit Ungor demonstrates
that concerns of state security, ethnocultural identity, and
national purity were behind these policies. The eastern provinces,
the heartland of Armenian and Kurdish life, became an epicenter of
Young Turk population policies and the theatre of unprecedented
levels of mass violence.
