THE ARMENIAN HERALD VOLUME 1 FEBRUARY, 1918 NUMBER 3 THE ONLY SOLUTION OF THE ARMENIAN QUESTION Both President Wilson and Premier Lloyd George thought this an opportune moment to restate the peace terms of the Allies. On the 8th of January our President addressed Congress and specified in fourteen articles America's conditions for bringing the hostilities to a close. Article 12 refers to Turkey and includes Armenia. It runs as follows : "The Turkish portions of the present Otto man Empire should be assured a secured sovereignty, but the other nationalities which are now under Turkish rule should be assured an undoubted security of life and an absolutely unmolested opportunity of autonomous development, and the Dardanelles should be permanent ly opened as a free passage to the ships and commerce of all nations un der international guarantees." Premier Lloyd George's statement, almost coeval with that made by President Wilson was somewhat more clear and categorical. He declared: "Arabia, Armenia, Mesopotamia, Syria, and Palestine are, in our judgment, entitled to recognition of their separate national conditions." Both these statements, however, need explanation and elucidation. They are not of a nature to satisfy the just claims and desiderata of the long-suffering Armenian people and the other nationalities concerned. They contain modes of expression and words replete with equivocation and uncertainty as to the fate of the nations whose future existence is in the balance. It seems like a rehearsal of the old political dogma of preserving the integrity of the so-called Ottoman Empire. But this is a credo which has gone to smash long ago. It has been tried again and again with no tangible results. While the President, in section 13, dilates upon the necessity,—and to this we entirely agree with him,—of erecting an independent Polish state, he does not appear to apply the same formula to that highly brilliant, progressive people, — to the Armenians,—who have shown themselves the best disseminators of Western and American civilization at an unheard-of sacrifice and through long sufferings for its very sake. We know and we recognize the lofty ideals and principles which animate our illustrious President in; THE ARMENIAN HERALD toward all oppressed and dependent nationalities. And we doubt not that when the psychological moment arrives for the final settlement of all pending questions at the coming congress as the result of this world war, he will recognize the just claims of the Armenians and through his accredited representatives will become their eloquent spokesman to secure for them not merely "security of life and autonomous develop ment," but also the creation of a free Armenian state extending- from the Caucasus and the Euxine to the Gulf of Alexandretta, to which terri tory they are entitled on historical and ethnological grounds and by reason of their past services to the cause of human progress and liberty. Under such conditions and institutions can they develop and prosper and become fit partners in democracy. There can be no durable peace in the Near East unless this doc trine were fully enforced. The creation of an Armenian state would be come the corner stone of a lasting settlement of a burning question which, through the vicissitudes of European diplomacy, has remained so far unsolved. It will be to the everlasting honor of this great Re public if, true to the traditions bequeathed by its glorious founders, its present statesmen should grapple with the Armenian problem, not by half measures, not by eliciting Turkish declarations of reform and of recognition of the principles of autonomy, which will remain a dead letter, but by courageously applying to that tottering Empire, the dis grace and shame of the universe, the healing process of anatomy. The process of anatomy has been applied in the past to other parte of the Turkish Empire with signal success. Greece, Servia, Roumania and Bulgaria owe their emancipation to its enforcement, and it cannot fail in the case of martyred Armenia. "Reforms" in Turkey are exotic plants which have never taken root. Bills of Rights, Charters, and Constitutions, issued by Sultans at the request of the civilized powers, are not worth the paper on which they are printed. There are volumes of them rotting in the archives of the Turkish Government since 1829. They each and all are promisory notes that have not been redeemed and were never intended to. The Armenians know this by experience. The treaties of San-Stefano and of Berlin of 1878, to say nothing of the Anglo-Turkish Convention of the same year, have remained to this day "paper reforms" and Turkish statesmen while affixing their signatures to these solemn international pacts, have undermined and set them systematically at nought and carried into effect the policy of extermin ating the very "subject" races entrusted to their care by the concert of Europe. Let us be clear and categorical, for we do not like mincing words when the destiny of peoples and the cause of civilizations and human THE ONLY SOLUTION OF THE ARMENIAN QUESTION 117 freedom are at stake. Turkish hegemony must be destroyed. The Caliphate at Constantinople is an anachronism and must disappear. Armenia, Arabia, Syria and Palestine, must be made free-sovereign states under the joint guarantee of America and the Entente Powers. This is the only solution of a long pending question. The interests of the Allies, the cause of truth and justice, and the political equilibrium in the Near East demand this. The great Anglo-Saxon orator, John Bright, we have been reminded of late, wrote to a friend in 1863, "I am not anxious to see the conspiracy of the States break down too rapidly I want no end of the war, and no compromise, till the Negro is made free beyond all chance of fail ure." This is our motto. To paraphrase the words of the illustrious tribune, "We want no end of the war, and no compromise with the as sassins of the Armenians, the Syrians, the Jews and the Greeks, until their military machine is destroyed, the rights of those small nations are vindicated and the world is really and effectively 'made safe for democ racy' beyond all chance of failure." GREECE AND ARMENIA BY SIMOS MENARDOS The periodicals, published in English and devoted to the Armenian cause, which I am reading attentively, leave on me an impression somewhat differ ent from that of some other foreign periodicals which I happen to peruse. I feel, nevertheless, that I am not altogether a stranger to this particular im pression; I am almost familiar with it. I can easily give an explanation for this.

    THESIS ISLAM IN MODERN TURKEY (1938-82) flBSTRflCT THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF MLOSOPHY IN ISLAMIC STUDIES BY AIJAZ AHMED UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF DR. SAYYIDAHSAN READER DEPARTMiNT OF ISLAMIC STTUDISS ALI6ARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 20Di STff^o % ABSTRACT In tenth century, the Turks of central Asia had converted to Islam and by the eleventh century they began to push their way into South-Eastern Russia and Persia. The Ottoman State emerged consequent to an Islamic movement under Ghazi Osman (1299-1326), founder of the dynasty, at Eskisehir, in North- Eastern Anatolia. Sufis, Ulema and Ghazis of Anatolia played an important role in this movement. For six centuries the Ottomans were almost constantly at war with Christian Europe and had succeeded in imposing the Islamic rule over a large part of Europe. The later Sultans could not maintain it strictly. With the expansion of the Ottoman dominions the rulers became more autocratic with the sole aim of conquering alien land. To achieve this the rulers granted freedom and cultural autonomy to his non-Muslim subjects and allowed the major religious groups to establish self governing communities under the leadership of their own religious chiefs. The recent work is spread over two parts containing eight chapters with a brief introduction and my own conclusions. Each part has four chapters. Part I, chapters I to IV, deals with the political mobilization of the Turkish peasants from the beginning of the modernization period and to the war of Independence as well as the initial stages of the transition to comparative politics.

LATE OF THE INDIAN CIVIL SERVICE. &23S4- =M=M> =**-• ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Ptd. at Brash Conv Praam. / This book is dedicated to my friend John Buchan. / PREFACE. This book is intended to furnish an explanation of the Law of Mine and other State lands in Palestine, Tor the benefit or English speaking judges and lawyers It is the only buok in English which deals with the development of this branch of Turkish Law in Palestine, and for this reason apologies, which may be needed lor its contents, are not needed for its existence. It gives the text of the Ottoman laws contained in Sir Stanley Fisher's "Land Laws" together with the Iraq translation of the Provisional Laws. This makes it a fairly complete book or reference up to the time or the Occupation. The numerous Orders-in-Council and Ordinances, which have been passed since thai daLe, are collected in the two volumes ol "The Legislation or Pales­ tine" compiled by Mr. Norman Bentwich MC, which is adequately indexed. Their inclusion in tins \olume would, Lhererore. serve no useful purpose The commentary is confined to the Ottoman Land Code, ihough of course the notes contain frequent references to subsequent legislation. It differs lrom the ordinary legal text book in that it does not contain references to decided cases. 7 his is due to the fact that, in the absence of an adequate system of law reporting, it is impossible to ascertain either, what decisions have been passed, or what decisions are operative on any given point.

Dr. Tarkan OKÇUOĞLU(ĠÜ) KASIM 2010 ÖNSÖZ 18. yüzyılın başında en olgun dönemini yaşayan Nedîm, Divan şiirinin en usta isimlerinden biridir. Bu ustalığı, özellikle onun yaşadığı dönemle bütünleşen bir şair olmasından gelir. Nedîm, Divan‟ında pek çok mimari tasvir yapar, bir beyitinde kendini hünerli bir mimara benzetir. O, mimarinin yaratıcı kudretine hayrandır. Bu sebeple yazdığı pek çok şiirde döneminin yapılarıyla ilgili ayrıntıları görebiliriz. Devrinin diğer şairleri gibi onun da Divanı‟nda pek çok târîh vardır. Nedîm‟in mimari tasvirleriyle daha çok onun târîhlerinde karşılaşırız. Nedîm târîhlerini, Lâle Devri‟nin ünlü kasırlarının yanında devrin çeşme, sebil vb. imar faaliyetleri için yazmıştır. Ayrıca Damat İbrahim Paşa‟nın Nevşehir‟de yaptırdığı cami, medrese, han ve çeşmeler için de târîh yazmıştır. Nedîm târîhlerinde çok defa hakkında târîh düşürdüğü olayı anlatır. İnşasının tamamlanması üzerine târîh yazdığı yapının niçin ve nasıl yapıldığı hakkında bilgi verir. Nedîm‟in târîhleri devrini aydınlatması bakımından önemlidir. Bu tez çalışmasında Nedîm‟in özellikle târîhlerindeki mimari tasvirler tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Ayrıca Nedîm‟in dört kasidesindeki ve Şevk-âbâd hakkında yazdığı nazmındaki mimari tasvirler üzerinde çalışılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Lâle Devri‟nin ruhunu günümüze taşıyan Nedîm‟in, devrinde inşa edilen mimari eserleri algılama ve bunu şiirlerine yansıtma tarzını irdelemektir.

  • The World War and the Turco-Armenian Question
    THE WORLD WAR AND THE TURCO-ARMENIAN QUESTION BY AHMED RUSTEM BEY Formerly Turkish Ambassador in Washington Berne 1918 translated by Stephen Cambron PERSONAL EXPLANATION OF THE AUTHOR The son of a Pole, who having been harbored in Turkey after the Hungarian abortive Revolution of 1848, served this country as an officer and was the object of government favors till his death, I was infeoffed to the Turkish people as much out of thankfulness as because of their numerous, amiable qualities. In writing this book intended to defend turkey against the Western public opinion concerning the Turco-Armenian question, I have only given way to my grateful feelings towards the country where I was born and which made me, in my turn, the object of her benevolence. These feelings expressed themselves by acts of indubitable loyalty and there is they reason why I fought twice in duel to maintain her honor and served her as a volunteer during the Turco-Greek War. It is after having ended my career and assured a long time ago of the kind feelings of the Ottoman Government and of my Turkish fellowmen’s that I publish this work under my name. Thereby I mean to say that I am only obeying my love towards the country. As to the degree of conviction with which I put my pen to her service in this discussion, where the question is to prove that Turkey is not so guilty as report goes and in which passions are roused to the utmost is sufficiently fixed by my signing this defense in which I speak the plain truth to the Armenian committees and the Entente.

D., Department of Political Science and Public Adm. Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Metin Heper October 2020 This Ph.D. dissertation offers an in-depth, systematic study of the continuities and discontinuities from 1965 to 2015 between the nationalist ideas and practices of Alparslan Türkeş (the founder and first leader of Turkey’s Nationalist Action Party [Milliyetçi Hareket Partisi, MHP]) and Devlet Bahçeli (the second and current leader). To this end, this study focuses on (i) general theories of nationalism; (ii) the historical development of Turkish nationalism from the late Ottoman Empire until 2015; and (iii) whether there are discernable differences between the nationalist ideas and practices of Türkeş and Bahçeli, and, if so, how and why such differences emerged.
