The age until the end of the 19th century when thcsi relations developed and reached their climcx. was a golden age for the Armenians. It was the Armenians who benefited the most from the facilities which the Ottoman State had provided to all industious. honest, capable, and skillful members of the non-Moslem peoples. Since they were exempted from military service and partially from taxes, they had the opportunity to rise in commerce, artianship. farming, and administrative works and they were rightfully qualified as the "faithful nation" or the "faithful people". Among this group that spoke Turkish cvcrwhcre and that even practiced its rituals in Turkish, were people who rose to important statuses in State posts. Some of them even had the post o f ministers. Consullarships in Public Works, the navy. Foreign Affairs, finance, treasury', post-cable administration and again some of these had written books in Turkish and foreign languages on the questions of the Ottoman State. On one hand the rights all the people benefited from, on the other hand almost all the rights confirmed by all Sultans and the new rights added to these -because of these royalties they had gained, the Armenians had become a privileged society among the non-Moslems and even among the Moslems in both active and w ritten law. But when the Ottoman State began to weaken and Europe interfered in almost all subject, a weakening and worsening in the Turkish-Armenian relations showed up . too. Both by the efforts of the Wcstcncrs to break away the Armenians from the Turkish society in religious, cultural, commercial, social and political matters, on the other side by the negative activities of the organized, equipped and armed Patriarch) , churches, and Armenian committees established in and outside of the country, the Armenians have been tried to be seperatcd slowly from the Turkish Armenians, the reasons of this hostility and the unknown or less known society. Thus, the bloody events in which mostly the Moslems lost and aspects of the displacement which though hardly examined-havc been were harmed had begun. Thousands of Moslems and Armenians lost their exploited a lot and we have used scientific data lor our work. The subject lives at the revolting movements that begun in East Anatolia and reached has man)' parts left in the dark.

    The Orontids of Armenia by Cyril Toumanoff This study appears as part III of Toumanoff's Studies in Christian Caucasian History (Georgetown, 1963), pp. 277-354. An earlier version appeared in the journal Le Muséon 72(1959), pp. 1-36 and 73(1960), pp. 73-106. The Orontids of Armenia Bibliography, pp. 501-523 Maps appear as an attachment to the present document. This material is presented solely for non-commercial educational/research purposes. I 1. The genesis of the Armenian nation has been examined in an earlier Study.1 Its nucleus, succeeding to the role of the Yannic nucleus ot Urartu, was the 'proto-Armenian,T Hayasa-Phrygian, people-state,2 which at first oc- cupied only a small section of the former Urartian, or subsequent Armenian, territory. And it was, precisely, of the expansion of this people-state over that territory, and of its blending with the remaining Urartians and other proto- Caucasians that the Armenian nation was born. That expansion proceeded from the earliest proto-Armenian settlement in the basin of the Arsanias (East- ern Euphrates) up the Euphrates, to the valley of the upper Tigris, and espe- cially to that of the Araxes, which is the central Armenian plain.3 This expand- ing proto-Armenian nucleus formed a separate satrapy in the Iranian empire, while the rest of the inhabitants of the Armenian Plateau, both the remaining Urartians and other proto-Caucasians, were included in several other satrapies.* Between Herodotus's day and the year 401, when the Ten Thousand passed through it, the land of the proto-Armenians had become so enlarged as to form, in addition to the Satrapy of Armenia, also the trans-Euphratensian vice-Sa- trapy of West Armenia.5 This division subsisted in the Hellenistic phase, as that between Greater Armenia and Lesser Armenia.

  • In Search of Armenian Nobility: Five Armenian Families of the Ottoman Empire
    J. Soc. for Armenian Stud. 3 (1987) Printed in the United States of America 93 Robert H. Hewsen IN SEARCH OF ARMENIAN NOBILITY: FIVE ARMENIAN FAMILIES OF THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE The importance of the nobility in Armenia before the loss of its independence cannot be overestimated, but the history of this nobility was characterized by a steady decline in the number of families of which it was composed. From about fifty in the fourth century A.D., the number of Armenian princely houses steadily dwindled to some forty-two in the fifth century, to thirty-five in the sixth, and to twenty in the eighth.1 Ultimately, only seven Armenian noble families are known for certain to have survived the fall of the last Armenian monarchy in 1375.2 Of these, five continued to exist in Georgia3 while three others, the House of Artsruni, the House of Siwni, and the House of Orbelian, survived on Armenian soil, the first until the Turkish occupation of Van; the remaining two under Persian and, later Russian rule.4 For all this, however, there are not lacking some Armenian fam- ilies of the Ottoman Empire who claim descent from the princely houses of the Armenia of old, and some of these families have played a conspicuous role in modern Armenian history. The basic problem in dealing with their claims lies in proving their legitimacy on grounds other than those of the family's own traditions, which valid though they may possibly be, by their very nature cannot always be verified. In the egalitarian world of Islam, and especially in the Ottoman Em- pire (which, unlike Russia, recognized no hereditary nobility beyond the imperial house itself), the lack of official recognition of nobiliary descent leaves us with very little support for nobiliary claims.

Dilek KANTARCI 28.01.2019 IV ÖNSÖZ Bu çalışmada 1900-1925 yılları arasında Trabzon’da yaşayan Rum ve Ermenilerin şehrin sosyal, ekonomik ve kültürel yapısına etkileri araştırılmıştır. Bu sürecin içinde yer alan Ermeni sevk ve iskânı konusunda birçok araştırma yapılmış fakat bu araştırmalar daha çok siyasi boyutta kalmış sevk ve iskân hareketinin sosyo ekonomik boyuttaki etkileri yeterli düzeyde araştırılmamıştır. 1916-1918 Rus İşgal Dönemi ile ilgili yapılan çalışmalarda azınlık konusundan ziyade muhaceret konusu üzerine odaklanılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, XX. yüzyılın ilk çeyreğinde Trabzon şehrinde yaşayan Rum ve Ermeni topluluklarının şehrin siyasi, idari, ticari, sanatsal ve zanaatsal yapısı içerisindeki yerlerini ortaya koymaktır. Bu tarih aralığında yer alan Sevk ve İskan, Rus İşgali, Muhaceret dönemleri ayrıntılı olarak işlenmiş; Mübadele Dönemi ise kısaca irdeleniştir. Böylece Trabzon’daki Rum ve Ermeni varlığı dönemsel olarak değil geniş bir perspektifte değerlendirilmiştir.

Mirrors of Modernization: The American Reflection in urkT ey Abstract This project documents otherwise neglected dimensions entailed in the assemblage and implementations of political theories, namely their fabrication through encounters with their material, local, and affective constituents. Rather than emanating from the West and migrating to their venues of application, social scientific theories are fashioned in particular sites where political relations can be staged and worked upon. Such was the case with modernization theory, which prevailed in official and academic circles in the United States during the early phases of the Cold War. The theory bore its imprint on a series of developmental and infrastructural projects in Turkey, the beneficiary of Marshall Plan funds and academic exchange programs and one of the theory's most important models. The manuscript scrutinizes the corresponding sites of elaboration for the key indices of modernization: the capacity for empathy, mobility, and hospitality. In the case of Turkey the sites included survey research, the implementation of a highway network, and the expansion of the tourism industry through landmarks such as the Istanbul Hilton Hotel.
