In this analysis, I provide an answer to the question of whether the crimes committed against the ethnic and religious minorities in the Ottoman Empire and continued in the newly established Turkish State amount to genocide. The inaction to prevent and to punish the culpable for the Armenian genocide has been considered as a precedent to the Holocaust.1 This is an excerpt from a speech of Hitler: “I have sent my Death’s Head units to the East with the order to kill without mercy men, women and children of the Polish race or language. Only in such a way will we win the lebensraum that we need. Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?”2 (emphasis added). This speech proves that our political action -or our inaction- can affect the course of the historical events. For the prevention of future atrocities, it is the responsibility of every state to acknowledge genocides as such. 1 This kind of reasoning has been proposed by scholars with regard to the Armenian genocide, but could actually refer to all the cases of genocide in Anatolia. See Vahakn N. Dadrian, Genocide as a Problem of National and International Law: The World War I Armenian Case and Its Contemporary Legal Ramifications, The Yale Journal of International Law, Vol. 14, Number 2, Summer 1989, 225. 2 Nicole Rafter, The Crime of All Crimes, Toward a Criminology of Genocide, New York University Press, 2016 2016, 9: Adolf Hitler, August 22, 1939. 1 Introduction The Armenian genocide has been characterized as “the forgotten genocide”, because it took seventy years until its international recognition.3 Travis argues that some cases of genocides may be hidden because of “national security dogmas, historical amnesia, politicized interpretations of the concept of genocide, and global power politics.”4 In this thesis, I will present the crimes committed against the ethnic and religious groups of Turkey. I will limit my research to the cases of the Greeks, the Assyrians, the Jews and the Yazidis, because they have not been acknowledged yet as genocide, compared to the Armenian case. The cases have differences and similarities. For instance, although the severity of the acts committed in each case might differ, I will examine the cases as one, because they were carried out during the same timeframe with the Armenian genocide and were committed for the same reasons and by the same perpetrators, but have been overlooked by both the Armenian scholars and the international community. Therefore, it is justified to call these cases of genocide, the hidden genocides. The scholars agree that among the persecuted, deported and massacred, were Greeks, Syrian Orthodox, Assyrians (Nestorians), Chaldeans and Jews of Palestine.5 I will have a special focus on the cases of the Greeks and the Assyrians and elucidated the crimes committed against them, two cases that been underrepresented in history. A legal opinion on the issue is necessary, since even nowadays, historical publications of prominent scholars, continue to misrepresent the genocides of the Greeks and the Assyrians.6 It is important to provide an answer through a legal 3 Dadrian 1989, supra note 1, 229. 4 Hannibal Travis, Constructing the "Armenian Genocide": How Scholars Unremembered the Assyrian and Greek Genocides in the Ottoman Empire, in: Thomas La Pointe, Douglas Irvin-Erickson, Thomas La Pointe (eds.), 2013, 170. 5 Daniel Marc Segesser, Dissolve or punish? The international debate amongst jurists and publicists on the consequences of the Armenian genocide for the Ottoman Empire, 1915-23, in: Dominik J. Schaller and Jurgen Zimmerer (ed.), Late Ottoman Genocides, The dissolution of the Ottoman Empire and Young Turkish population and extermination policies, 2009, 95. 6 See for example, Eugene Rogan’s interpretation in his 2015 book about the genocides. Rogan does refer to the case of the Armenians as a genocide but does not acknowledge the Greek and Assyrian cases as genocide. For the Greek genocide, he writes: ‘Greek Orthodox Christian villagers in western Anatolia, far from the troubled Balkans, resisted the State’s efforts to uproot them. Gendarmes rounded the villagers, beat the men, threatened to kidnap women, and even killed Ottoman Greeks who resisted deportation. Foreign consuls, appalled by the violence against Christian civilians, reported dozens killed in some villages. Yet the expulsion of the Ottoman Greeks could be carried out with relatively low levels of killing because there was a Greek state to which they could be deported. [...]’ and that: ‘[…] Whereas

  • The American Protestant Missionary Network in Ottoman Turkey, 1876-1914
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 4, No. 6(1); April 2014 The American Protestant Missionary Network in Ottoman Turkey, 1876-1914 Devrim Ümit PhD Assistant Professor Founding and Former Chair Department of International Relations Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences Karabuk University Turkey Abstract American missionaries have long been the missing link in the study of the late Ottoman period despite the fact that they left their permanent trade in American as well as Western conceptions of the period such as “Terrible Turk” and “Red Sultan” just to name a few. From the landing of the first two American Protestant missionaries, Levi Parsons and Pliny Fisk, on the Ottoman Empire, as a matter of fact on the Near East, in early 1820, until the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, American missionaries occupied the increasing attention of the Ottoman bureaucracy in domestic and foreign affairs while the mission work in the Ottoman Empire established the largest investment of the American Board of Commissionaries for Foreign Missions (A.B.C.F.M.) in the world, even above China and India, on the eve of the war. The bulk of the correspondence of the Ottoman Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the period was with the United States and this was chiefly concerned about the American mission schools. Therefore, this paper seeks to examine the encounter between the Ottoman officialdom and the American Protestant missionaries in Ottoman Turkey during the successive regimes of Sultan Abdülhamid II and the Committee of Union and Progress, the Unionists in the period of 1876-1914.

  • Here All Continue to Defend Human Rights in Turkey, Despite the Increasing Difficulty and Mounting Pressure Posed by the Government
    Imagine being attacked by the police for dancing in the streets for women’s rights or peacefully marching for LGBTI+ rights. Imagine being arrested for tweeting disapproval of your government; protesting to save a park; signing a peace petition. Imagine your professor being fired, or your doctor being arrested. These are all examples from Turkey’s reality. This series highlights stories of twenty individuals who have chosen to stand up for human rights. The individuals presented here all continue to defend human rights in Turkey, despite the increasing difficulty and mounting pressure posed by the government. Learn more about the everyday people taking everyday actions in Turkey to stand up for human rights. Read DEFENDING HUMAN RIGHTS IN TURKEY their stories, each one a story that needs to be heard. STORIES THAT NEED TO BE HEARD Defending Human Rights in Turkey Not long ago, Turkey was considered a success story of democratic transformation. Today human rights in Turkey are at risk. Turkey displays an increasingly restrictive environment with a distorted system of checks and balances, where the rule of law is undermined. Thousands of journalists, academics, lawyers, and government critics have been sacked, imprisoned, and charged with terror-related or libel crimes. Defending human rights doesn’t have to be a profession; it comes from a belief that all people have the right to live in peace and be treated equally. From doctors to teachers, from plumbers to journalists, everyone can defend human rights. Sustained attention and a proactive strategy by the European Union and its Member States, and the international community as a whole are needed to defend the space in which human rights defenders can continue their peaceful human rights work without risk of reprisals and unfounded litigation for their work.
