After the Armenian genocide of 1915, in which over a million Armenians died, thousands of Armenian-Turks lived and worked in the Turkish state alongside those who had persecuted their communities. Living under heavy censorship, and in an atmosphere of official denial that the deaths were a genocide, how did Turkish Armenians record their own history? Here, Talin Suciyan explores the life experienced by Turkey s Armenian communities as Turkey s great modernisation project of the 20th century gathered pace. Suciyan achieves this through analysis of remarkable new primary material: a kaleidoscopic series of personal diaries, fragments of surviving material objects (such as charms and clothing), the oral histories of the period and a focus on the statutes and laws which led to the continuing persecution of the Armenian minority. The first history of its kind, The Armenians in Modern Turkey is a fresh contribution to the history of modern Turkey and the Armenian experience there.".
