This dissertation is the first to study the French policy toward the Armenian issue globally and by a detailed work in the available archives, as well as in the various printed sources. It focuses on the 1918-1923 period, namely when the Armenian independence fails then when the dream of an Armenian autonomy in Anatolia collapses but also provides the necessary background, the 1862-1914 period and the First World War. Non-existence at the eve of this conflict, the alliance of Paris with the Armenian committees develop slowly and remains uneasy during the war. Tense during the year following the armistice, primarily because of the opposition of Paris to the “Integral Armenia” from Black Sea to Mediterranean Sea, the alliance is severed during the decisive period beginning in autumn 1919 and ending in January 1921. The attempts of the committees to prevent the evacuation of Çukurova fail one by one and their only achievement is to provoke the mass emigration of the Christian population. Then, the last projects of an “Armenian Home” (considered impracticable and actually not interesting by the French government) fail during the Paris (March 1922) and Lausanne conferences (November 1922-July 1923), the rapprochement of the Armenian committees with Greece having secured nothing.

The impact of the Balkan Wars on Ottoman history writing Searching for a soul Boyar, Ebru (Informa UK Limited, 2014-01-01) Based on histories, accounts and articles published after the Balkan Wars, this article argues that, contrary to the commonly accepted thesis, the Balkan Wars did notmark the point at which Turkism became the dominant state ideology. There was in fact no clear-cut and definite shift toward Turkism at this point. Instead there was an increasing awareness of the need for a 'common soul' that would unite the population of the empire in the face of dramatic challenges such as the Balkan Wars
A scientometric profile of social sciences research in Turkey Uzun, A (1998-09-01) I surveyed the social sciences journal literature for the decade period 1987-1996 looking for papers with authors, or at least one co-author giving an address from an institution in Turkey. The number of such papers had nearly tripled from 1987 to 1996. I found that the papers are scattered into 341 journals and almost one third of all papers went to nine journals, each of which contained an average of a least one Turkish paper per year. Only two of these journals, on archaeology and anthropology, happened ...
Reconsidering the annexation of the Sanjak of Alexandretta through local narratives Matkap, Sıtkıye; Şeker, Nesim; Department of Media and Cultural Studies (2009) The main aim of this thesis is to examine the history of Sanjak of Alexandretta in the Turkish nationalist historiography. In this respect, it is important to comprehend how this region as a territory was tried to present as a homeland with ethnic-nationalist connotations and idioms through the discipline of history by Kemalist nationalists in the late of 1930s. Thus, in order to pay attention to the process of annexation of the region into Turkey requires focusing on how and by whom this nationalist histor...

The Image of the Turks in European Anglophone Intellectual Discourse Çırakman Deveci, Aslı (Hollitzer Verlag, 2021-02-01) In the following, a number of European travelogues from the Ottoman Empire of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries are discussed and compared with de- scriptions of Turkish society and politics that relied on the secondary knowledge that was often harvested from such travelogues, but was interpreted differently by their authors. The aim is to convey the political and social relevance of the Otto- man Empire to European intellectuals of the period.1 The Turks were obviously interesting, as the sheer amoun...
