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

Anumyan, Meline, 2025
Պատմություն և մշակույթ / History and Culture, Vol. 22, No. 1, pp. 103–109 (Yerevan State University); DOI 10.46991/hc.2025.22.1.103

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.

How this repository is built

What is in this repository?

Peer-reviewed and institutional scholarship on Armenian subjects — history, the Armenian Genocide, Artsakh, language and literature, the church, and the diaspora — in any language and from any country. Journal articles, books, book chapters, theses and institute publications are all in scope. Entries are chosen for what they contribute to an Armenian student's understanding, not for how recent or how famous they are.

What does 'verified' mean here?

It means a person opened the link and checked the record against the publisher's own page: the title, the authors, the venue, the volume and pages, and the identifier. The date of that check is shown on each entry's page. Where an entry has no date shown, no check has been logged for it yet, and the catalogue does not claim one.

What is the summary on each entry?

A short account of what the publication does, followed by notes on what it offers different readers — a student writing a term paper, an academic, someone reading for the community, someone new to the subject. They are meant to tell you what a piece is useful for, not only what it argues.

How do I suggest a publication, or report an error?

Use the 'Suggest a publication' link at the foot of the directory. The same address takes corrections — a broken link, a wrong page range, a misattributed author. Corrections are checked against the publisher's record before an entry changes.
