The
period of transition from the collapse of the Ottoman Empire to the foundation
of the Turkish Republic was characterized by a number of processes largely
guided by a narrow elite that aimed to construct a modern, national state. One
of these processes was the deliberate and planned elimination, indeed
extermination, of the Christian (and certain other) minorities. According to
demographic studies, the numbers are stark: In 1912 the areas of Asia Minor and
Thrace were inhabited by about 4-5 million Christians and 7-8 million Muslims;
by 1923 only 250-300,000 Christians remained.
The
volume was edited by Tessa Hofmann, Matthias Bjørnlund and Vasileios
Meichanetsidis During the event there will be an introduction to the volume by
Dr. Hofmann and comments by Prof. Marios Evriviades and Dr. Vlassis Agtzides
with some closing thoughts by the Publisher. The presentation will be in
English language.
