Using mass expulsions of Armenian and Greek communities of the Ottoman Empire in the early 20th century as a unique natural experiment of history, we show that districts with greater presence of Armenian and Greek minorities at the end of the 19th century are systematically more densely populated, more urbanized, and more developed today. Results are robust to accounting for an extensive set of geographical and historical factors of development and minority settlement patterns. Matching type estimators, instrumental variable regressions, and a sub-province level case study corroborate our findings. Importantly, we provide evidence on the channels of persistence. Armenian and Greek contribution to long-run development is largely mediated by their legacy on local human capital accumulation. In comparison, the mediating effect of minority asset transfer on development appears less important. Keywords: human capital, economic development, expulsion, minorities, ethnicity, Armenians, Greeks, persistence.

  • Russia's Imperial Encounter with Armenians, 1801-1894
    CLAIMING THE CAUCASUS: RUSSIA’S IMPERIAL ENCOUNTER WITH ARMENIANS, 1801-1894 Stephen B. Riegg A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Louise McReynolds Donald J. Raleigh Chad Bryant Cemil Aydin Eren Tasar © 2016 Stephen B. Riegg ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Stephen B. Riegg: Claiming the Caucasus: Russia’s Imperial Encounter with Armenians, 1801-1894 (Under the direction of Louise McReynolds) My dissertation questions the relationship between the Russian empire and the Armenian diaspora that populated Russia’s territorial fringes and navigated the tsarist state’s metropolitan centers. I argue that Russia harnessed the stateless and dispersed Armenian diaspora to build its empire in the Caucasus and beyond. Russia relied on the stature of the two most influential institutions of that diaspora, the merchantry and the clergy, to project diplomatic power from Constantinople to Copenhagen; to benefit economically from the transimperial trade networks of Armenian merchants in Russia, Persia, and Turkey; and to draw political advantage from the Armenian Church’s extensive authority within that nation. Moving away from traditional dichotomies of power and resistance, this dissertation examines how Russia relied on foreign-subject Armenian peasants and elites to colonize the South Caucasus, thereby rendering Armenians both agents and recipients of European imperialism. Religion represented a defining link in the Russo-Armenian encounter and therefore shapes the narrative of my project. Driven by a shared ecumenical identity as adherents of Orthodox Christianity, Armenians embraced Russian patronage in the early nineteenth century to escape social and political marginalization in the Persian and Ottoman empires.

Makalede öncelikle Erzurum Tophanesi'nin ne zaman ve ne amaçla kurulduğu anlatılmaktadır. XVII. yüzyıl ortalarından itibaren, mevcut binasının yetersizliği nedeniyle daha büyük çaplı bir tophane tesisine yöneliş ve bu kapsamda Çifte Minareli Medrese'nin tophaneye dönüştürülmesi, çalışmanın bir diğer konusunu teşkil etmektedir. Osmanlı Devleti'nin İran'a karşı tertip ettiği seferlerde Erzurum Tophanesi'nde dökülen toplardan ne ölçüde istifade edildiği ayrıntılı olarak tasvir edilmektedir. Çalışmada ayrıca XIX. yüzyıl başında Osmanlı Devleti'nin, doğu sınırında beliren yeni düşman Rusya'ya karşı almaya çalıştığı tedbirler ve bunda Erzurum Tophanesi'nin rolü ortaya konmaya çalışılmıştır. Avrupa'daki yeni top teknolojilerini Erzurum Tophanesi'nde uygulama çabaları ve bunda karşılaşılan problemler ayrıntılı olarak tartışılmaktadır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Erzurum, tophane, dökümhane, şeşhaneli top, kaval top, Osmanlı silah sanayi.

  • Persistence of Armenian and Greek Influence in Turkey
    Minorities and Long-run Development: Persistence of Armenian and Greek Influence in Turkey ∗ Cemal Eren Arbatlı Gunes Gokmen y July 2015 Abstract Mass deportations and killings of Ottoman Armenians during WWI and the Greek-Turkish population exchange after the Greco-Turkish War of 1919-1922 were the two major events of the early 20th century that permanently changed the ethno-religious landscape of Anatolia. These events marked the end of centuries-long coexistence of the Muslim populations with the two biggest Christian communities of the region. These communities played a dominant role in craftsmanship, manufacturing, commerce and trade in the Empire. In this paper, we empirically investigate the long-run contribution of the Armenian and Greek communities in the Ottoman period on regional development in modern Turkey. We show that districts with greater presence of Greek and Armenian minorities at the end of the 19th century are systematically more densely populated, more urbanized and exhibit greater economic activity today. These results are qualitatively robust to accounting for an extensive set of geographical and historical factors that might have influenced long-run development on the one hand and minority settlement patterns on the other. We explore two potential channels of persistence. First, we provide evidence that Greeks and Armenians might have contributed to long-run economic development through their legacy on human capital accumulation at the local level. This finding possibly reflects the role of inter-group spillovers of cultural values, technology and know-how as well as the self-selection of skilled labor into modern economic sectors established by Armenian and Greek entrepreneurs.

Feryal Tansu ğ A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations University of Toronto Copyright by N. Feryal Tansu ğ 2008 ABSTRACT COMMUNAL RELATIONS IN ĐZM ĐR/SMYRNA, 1826-1864: AS SEEN THROUGH THE PRISM OF GREEK-TURKISH RELATIONS by Feryal Tansu ğ Doctor of Philosophy Department of Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations University of Toronto 2008 This dissertation examines the level of social and cultural interaction between the Greek and Turkish communities of Đzmir and the impact of the centralizing Ottoman reforms on the society of Đzmir during the age of the Ottoman modernization. It focuses on the years between 1826 and 1864 that marked a turning point in the administrative history of the Ottoman Empire. Analyzing this subject requires understanding the social-cultural and economic dynamics of Đzmir that played a crucial role in the formation of the social fabric of the city. Ottoman-Turkish archival material and to some extent Greek newspapers of the time are used as primary sources. The sources discussed in this dissertation demonstrate that the central authority attempted to re- integrate Đzmir into its administrative and political structure in accordance with the centralizing or repressive Tanzimat reforms. However, Tanzimat reforms did not disturb the social cohesion of Đzmir, which the city produced over the centuries with its local character and some peculiar dynamics. The evidence also indicates that the Empire did not aim to mold social relations in Đzmir, instead benefited from city’s already existing social-cultural and economic situation, which was well suited to its modernization program.

Elmi üslubun formalaşması ədəbi dilin təşəkkülünün ən yüksən mərhələsində baş verir. Məqalədə verilən faktlar XIV-XVI əsrlərə aid türk dillərində yazılmış əsərlər türkdilli elmi üslubun tarixinin XIV əsrdən başladığını sübut edir. Məqalədə ərəbdilli elmi əsərlər türkdilli mühitdə getdikcə azalan tələbatın, türk dilinin mədrəsə və elm dilinə çevrilməsinin səbəblərini, bədii və məişət üslubu əsasında elmi üslubun diferensiallaşması faktlarla araşdırılmışdır. Əldə olunan nəticələr türkdilli elmi üslubun tarixinin daha qədim olduğunu bu dilin elmi faktları əsrlər əvvəl tam dolğunluqla əks etdirdiyini sübut edir. Açar sözlər: elm, üslub, ədəbi dil, türk dilləri, üslubi diferensiallaşma Elmi üslub ümumədəbi dilin spesifik xüsusiyyətlər daşıyan qolu olub, elm və texnologiyanın müxtəlif nailiyyətlərinin, insanın beyin gücünün məh- sulu olan yeniliklərin dildə ifadəsini təmin edir.
