This thesis attempts to understand how three different generations of Turkish Cypriot families remember the past ethnic conflict between Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots and make sense of their experiences of ethnic conflict in terms of politicization of memory. Following this question, one objective of this thesis is to understand, interpret, and analyze the differences and similarities upon their narratives, what is meaningful or relevant to them to mention about the past, and how they experience the influence of the ethnic conflict in their everyday lives. Another is revealing the meanings that respondents give to the past, present, and future of the island with regard to ethnic conflict, and how power relations work in terms of memory, even in the smallest detail in society.

With the interest of the imperialist states, the Armenian question became an international problem ...

Hamit, Meltem; Erdoğan, Necmi; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2008)

Forced population movements in the Ottoman Empire and the Early Turkish Republic: An attempt at reassessment through demographic engineering

It argues that reconsidering the issue of forced migration in the Ottoman Empire and the early Turkish Republic as a case of demographic engineering provides us with an analytical tool ena...
