  • An Ottoman Global Moment
    AN OTTOMAN GLOBAL MOMENT: WAR OF SECOND COALITION IN THE LEVANT A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy In History By Kahraman Sakul, M.A Washington, DC November, 18, 2009 Copyright 2009 by Kahraman Sakul All Rights Reserved ii AN OTTOMAN GLOBAL MOMENT: WAR OF SECOND COALITION IN THE LEVANT Kahraman Sakul, M.A. Dissertation Advisor: Gabor Agoston, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation aims to place the Ottoman Empire within its proper context in the Napoleonic Age and calls for a recognition of the crucial role of the Sublime Porte in the War of Second Coalition (1798-1802). The Ottoman-Russian joint naval expedition (1798-1800) to the Ionian Islands under the French occupation provides the framework for an examination of the Ottoman willingness to join the European system of alliance in the Napoleonic age which brought the victory against France in the Levant in the War of Second Coalition (1798-1802). Collections of the Ottoman Archives and Topkapı Palace Archives in Istanbul as well as various chronicles and treatises in Turkish supply most of the primary sources for this dissertation. Appendices, charts and maps are provided to make the findings on the expedition, finance and logistics more readable. The body of the dissertation is divided into nine chapters discussing in order the global setting and domestic situation prior to the forming of the second coalition, the Adriatic expedition, its financial and logistical aspects with the ensuing socio-economic problems in the Morea, the Sublime Porte’s relations with its protectorate – The Republic of Seven United Islands, and finally the post-war diplomacy.

  • Professional Ethics and the Denial of Armenian Genocide
    Professional Ethics and the Denial of Armenian Genocide Roger W. Smith College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia Eric Markusen Southwest State University, Marshall, Minnesota Robert Jay Lifton The City University of New York This article examines Turkish efforts to deny the Armenian genocide of 1915-17. Specifically, it exposes an arrangement by which the government of Turkey has channeled funds into a supposedly objective research insti- tute in the United States, which in turn paid the salary of a historian who served that government in its campaign to discredit scholarship on the Armenian genocide. After a short review of the Armenian genocide and a range of Turkish denial efforts, three documents are reproduced in full. They include a letter that Robert Jay Lifton received from the Turkish Am- bassador to the United States, and two documents that were inadvertently included with the Lifton letter—a memorandum to the Turkish Ambassa- dor and a draft letter to Lifton for the Ambassador's signature. After a critical analysis of each document, we discuss the harmful ness of genocide denial and explore why intellectuals might engage in the denial of known genocides. The article concludes with reflections on the relationship be- tween scholars and truth. The will to truth is cowed by pressure of numerous kinds, reasons of state on the one hand, economic necessities on the other, and, not least, the pure careerism of intellectu- als who put their expertise in the service of power as a matter of course When govern- ments and professional elites find reward in the sophistries of might makes right, truth is bound to suffer.1 Terrence Des Pres It has been said that gentlemen do not read other gentlemen's mail.

Geoffrey Robertson Follow this and additional works at: http://ir.stthomas.edu/ustjlpp Part of the Human Rights Law Commons Bluebook Citation Geoffrey Robertson, Was There an Armenian Genocide?, 4 U.

For more information, please contact Editor-in-Chief Patrick O'Neill. WAS THERE AN ARMENIAN GENOCIDE? THE OPINION OF GEOFFREY ROBERTSON, QC. THE ISSUE There is no doubt that in 1915, the Ottoman government ordered the deportation of up to two million Armenians from Anatolia and other provinces: they were marched towards Syria and hundreds of thousands died en route from disease, starvation, and armed attack. There were other atrocities committed against Armenians in that year because of their race and their Christian religion, beginning with the rounding up of several hundred intellectuals in Constantinople on April 24th. The "Young Turk" government was accused of responsibility for what the governments of Britain, France, and Russia, jointly and formally declared to be a "crime against humanity." These allies solemnly promised to punish the perpetrators, and after the war, special provisions were made to do so in the Treaty of S~vres. The United Kingdom rounded up sixty-seven Turkish officials suspected of ordering atrocities and held them for trial in Malta, but for reasons of diplomatic expediency, they were eventually released.

  • The Making of Sultan Süleyman: a Study of Process/Es of Image-Making and Reputation Management
    THE MAKING OF SULTAN SÜLEYMAN: A STUDY OF PROCESS/ES OF IMAGE-MAKING AND REPUTATION MANAGEMENT by NEV ĐN ZEYNEP YELÇE Submitted to the Institute of Social Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Sabancı University June, 2009 © Nevin Zeynep Yelçe 2009 All Rights Reserved To My Dear Parents Ay şegül and Özer Yelçe ABSTRACT THE MAKING OF SULTAN SÜLEYMAN: A STUDY OF PROCESS/ES OF IMAGE-MAKING AND REPUTATION MANAGEMENT Yelçe, Nevin Zeynep Ph.D., History Supervisor: Metin Kunt June 2009, xv+558 pages This dissertation is a study of the processes involved in the making of Sultan Süleyman’s image and reputation within the two decades preceding and following his accession, delineating the various phases and aspects involved in the making of the multi-layered image of the Sultan. Handling these processes within the framework of Sultan Süleyman’s deeds and choices, the main argument of this study is that the reputation of Sultan Süleyman in the 1520s was the result of the convergence of his actions and his projected image. In the course of this study, main events of the first ten years of Sultan Süleyman’s reign are conceptualized in order to understand the elements employed first in making a Sultan out of a Prince, then in maintaining and enhancing the sultanic image and authority. As such, this dissertation examines the rhetorical, ceremonial, and symbolic devices which came together to build up a public image for the Sultan. Contextualized within a larger framework in terms of both time and space, not only the meaning and role of each device but the way they are combined to create an image becomes clearer.

He discusses the contradictory positions of two broad groups of scholars on the reliability of these archives, concluding that the Ottoman Archives agree with the information found in the archives of the United States, Britain, Germany, and Austria. He discusses the various categories of Ottoman documents, which mostly came out during the trials related to the Armenian Genocide, which took place from 1919 to 1921, and makes clear that there was a wide-ranging cleansing operation of the archives after the armistice in 1918.

Prof. Mehmet Akif Kireçci November 2018 This thesis evaluates the Ottoman oil concessions in the Hamidian Era (1876– 1909), by focusing on Abdulhamid II’s famous ―balanced policy‖ in the international affairs of the Empire. The study argues that there was an Ottoman oil policy which considered the Ottoman oil concessions within the scope of Abdulhamid II’s reasonable international politics versus the European interventions seen as the greatest danger by the Sultan. In that regard, Abdulhamid II did not directly contradict the foreign oil concession demands or accept these demands. Instead, He tried to pursue a balanced policy regarding the oil concessions between the Great powers. In the begining of the Hamidian Era, the Ottoman Empire had been already dominated by financial control and restrictions of European powers especially France and Britain, which trying to locate Ottoman oil resources.

  • Turkish Archival Material in Greek Historiography*
    Türkiye Araştırmaları Literatür Dergisi, Cilt 8, Sayı 15, 2010, 755-792 Turkish Archival Material in Greek Historiography* Evangelia BALTA** “L’ histoire est une lutte contre la mort” Jacques Le Goff1 THIS PAPER aims to examine the management of the Turkish archival material apper- taining to “Greek space,” a geographical continuum which functions as the canvas on which the Greek populations were intertwined with time and history. The study describes the place of the Ottoman era in Greek historiography up to 2005. By employing the term “Turkish archives,” this study will focus on the sources written in the Turkish language, thus distinguishing them from the total of the archival material generated in the linguistically and culturally pluralistic Ottoman Empire. This choice was made precisely in order to remove any confusion that the definitive epithet “Ottoman” might cause with regard to the sources produced by other pre-national com- munities of the empire, such as the Greeks, Armenians, Jews, Arabs, etc. This subject imposes a watershed, which is directly articulated with the introduction of Ottoman Studies in Greece and its establishment in the 1980s as a new branch of historical studies, as well as its implications in terms of methods, techniques and the manner in general of approaching the Ottoman past. Consequently, the discussion of this subject will revolve around two axes. First, the fate of the Turkish sources in mod- ern Greek historiography which deal with the Ottoman period, called Tourkokratia (Turkish Domination)2 in the scheme of national history, will be examined. Second, the confrontation and manipulation of these sources by the now international historical dis- * In 2003 several of the author’s articles on Ottoman archives and Ottoman Studies in Greece were published as Evangelia Balta, Ottoman Studies and Archives in Greece, Analecta Isisiana LXX, (Istanbul: The Isis Press, 2003) with relevant bibliography.

  • Revisiting the Armenian Genocide by Guenter Lewy Middle East Quarterly Fall 2005
    http://www.meforum.org/article/748 This item is available on the Middle East Forum website, at http://www.meforum.org/article/748 Revisiting the Armenian Genocide by Guenter Lewy Middle East Quarterly Fall 2005 The debate over what happened to Armenians in the Ottoman Empire during World War I remains acrimonious ninety years after it began. Armenians say they were the victims of the first genocide of the twentieth century. Most Turks say Armenians died during intercommunal fighting and during a wartime relocation necessitated by security concerns because the Armenians sympathized with and many fought on the side of the enemy. For genocide scholars, the claims of the Armenians have become incontrovertible historical fact. But many historians, both in Turkey and the West, have questioned the appropriateness of the genocide label.[1] The ramifications of the dispute are wide-reaching. The Armenians, encouraged by strong support in France, insist on a Turkish confession and apology as a prerequisite for Turkey's admission into the European Union. Ankara's relations with Yerevan remain frozen because of the dispute. Across the West, Armenian activists try politically to predetermine the historical debate by demanding various parliaments pass resolutions recognizing the Armenian genocide. The key issue in this controversy is not the extent of Armenian suffering; both sides agree that several hundred thousand Christians perished during the deportation of the Armenians from Anatolia to the Syrian desert and elsewhere in 1915-16.[2] With little notice, the Ottoman government forced men, women, and children from their homes. Many died of starvation or disease during a harrowing trek over mountains and through deserts.
