“The Armenian Question Is Finally Closed”: Mass Conversions of Armenians in Anatolia during the Hamidian Massacres of 1895–1897
Selim Deringil · 2009
Catalogue summary
Deringil situates mass conversions of Armenians during the Hamidian massacres within late Ottoman debates over nationalism, reform, and the Armenian Question. The article highlights the relative lack of Ottoman-archive research on conversions in the 1894–1897 violence.
Why this matters
It directs readers to an understudied pre-1915 history and makes clear why religious conversion must be examined within conditions of coercion and state violence.
