Ջեմալ փաշայի ցեղասպան քաղաքականության արդարացման փորձերը թուրք պատմաբանների կողմից (Attempts by Turkish Historians to Justify Cemal Pasha's Genocidal Policy)

Anumyan, Meline · 2025

Anumyan takes up a thesis recently circulated by some Turkish historians: that Cemal Pasha, Ottoman Minister of the Navy during the Genocide, was more tolerant toward Armenians than the other Young Turk leaders and opposed the deportations. She isolates four principal propositions supporting that narrative and refutes each in turn. Her conclusion is that although Cemal's stance appears at first glance to differ from that of the other perpetrators, it was in substance identical: his goal too was the elimination of the Armenians as a nation, pursued primarily through assimilation. She argues the rehabilitation of principal architects of the Genocide is dangerous precisely because it can install a groundless image of the 'Armenophile Turk' in Armenian public consciousness.
