Cette recherche s’inscrit également dans les travaux du Labex Empirical Foundations of Linguistics 1. Introduction 1.1. L’arménien occidental : aperçu historique L’arménien est une langue indo-européenne, classée comme un rameau isolé de la famille, et ayant cependant des affinités avec les branches grecque, iranienne et slave. Attestée depuis la création, au cinquième siècle, d’un alphabet propre, qui a permis l’apparition d’une littérature prolifique, cette langue a pour berceau le Plateau arménien, région géographique englobant l’Anatolie orientale et le Sud-ouest du Caucase, et située de manière constante dans l’histoire au carrefour des Empires (romain d’Orient, byzantin puis ottoman à l’Ouest, perse puis russe et soviétique à l’Est). La langue et la culture arménienne se sont alimentées de cette rencontre entre Est et Ouest, entre Europe et Asie, entre cultures antagoniques et rivales, qui font la spécificité et la richesse de l’héritage arménien. La langue attestée au cinquième siècle est l’arménien classique, la langue littéraire commune pratiquée par les clercs lettrés qui ont produit la littérature de cette époque. Peu à peu, avec l’apparition de thématiques profanes dans la littérature arménienne, la langue laisse apparaître des traits dialectaux, et au douzième siècle, à l’époque du Royaume arménien de Cilicie, lorsque pour la première fois l’arménien prend le relais de l’araméen et du grec dans l’administration, on voit apparaître des témoignages écrits massifs de que l’on appellera l’arménien moyen : une langue déjà très éloignée de l’arménien classique et présentant des traits dialectaux caractéristiques des régions arméniennes occidentales. Ce n’est qu’au dix-neuvième siècle, dans l’esprit des Lumières 2 et du réveil des Nations, que l’arménien moderne est standardisé et supplante l’arménien classique comme langue littéraire et langue de scolarisation, parallèlement à un début de laïcisation de la société arménienne dans l’Empire ottoman et dans l’Empire russe. Les dialectes arméniens, souvent classés en orientaux et occidentaux, constituent en réalité un continuum linguistique qui s’étend de Constantinople à l’Ouest à Tiflis et Bakou à l’Est, avec des zones compactes de dialectes autochtones allant du centre de l’actuelle Turquie au Nagorno-Karabagh et au Sud actuel de la Géorgie. Au dix-neuvième siècle, l’activité culturelle des Arméniens est implantée dans les villes des différentes régions arménophones, mais surtout dans les métropoles régionales que sont Constantinople à l’Ouest et Tiflis à l’Est. Ainsi le dix-neuvième siècle voit apparaître deux standards modernes arméniens, l’arménien occidental, ancré à Constantinople sur la base des dialectes occidentaux, et l’arménien oriental, ancré dans le Caucase sur la base des dialectes orientaux. Au vingtième siècle, l’arménien oriental est devenu une langue d’Etat avec la constitution de la République d’Arménie en 1918 (soviétique entre 1921 et 1991), cependant que l’arménien occidental, après avoir été langue de minorité en Turquie, est devenu une langue de diaspora mondiale (Dum-Tragut, 2011), suite à la dispersion massive des survivants du génocide des Arméniens de l’Empire ottoman (1915-1922). La langue est restée vernaculaire1 dans les communautés arméniennes du Proche-Orient (avec pour communautés les plus nombreuses la Syrie et le Liban, et dans une moindre mesure à Jérusalem, en Jordanie, en Egypte, en Irak), alors que son usage a beaucoup 1Bien que classée comme langue en danger par l’Unesco en février 2010 précisément au Proche-Orient (Moseley, 2010). reculée en Turquie2, et qu’elle est une langue minoritaire dans les pays occidentaux de la diaspora arménienne. 1.2. L’arménien occidental et ses locuteurs en France En France, l’arménien occidental est pratiqué dans les familles issues de différentes vagues d’immigration depuis les rescapés du génocide venus dans les années 1920, directement de Turquie, ou via la Syrie, le Liban ou la Grèce, pour certains depuis les orphelinats de la région. La première grande vague d’immigration a fondé, dans les années 1920, une communauté très solidaire, qui s’est implantée dans certains bassins d’emploi où elle est encore aujourd’hui fortement ancrée (Région parisienne, PACA, Rhône-Alpes), représentant même un pourcentage significatif de la population dans certaines localités ou quartiers (Marseille-Beaumont, Lyon-Décines, Alfortville, Issy-les Moulineaux, Gonesse, etc.). Dès les débuts, malgré ses faibles moyens, la communauté déploie non seulement un réseau de solidarités familiales et villageoises, mais aussi des structures inspirées de la vie communautaire très organisée dans l’Empire Ottoman. Des ‘écoles arméniennes’ hebdomadaires réunissent les enfants et leur enseignent la langue, la culture et les traditions, cependant qu’en famille, la langue est le plus souvent réservée à la communication avec les générations précédentes. Cette première vague a atteint aujourd’hui sa troisième génération née en France, parfaitement intégrée, et, après l’extinction de la première génération, elle a, au mieux, une compétence passive et très parcellaire de la langue, à l’exception d’une minorité qui a fait de la langue une priorité. 3 On constate en effet généralement que dans les familles s’installant en France, dès la première génération née sur place, l’arménien cesse d’être le vernaculaire dominant dans la communication avec les pairs. Le vécu traumatique, lui, est plus systématiquement transmis aux générations futures, et le sentiment identitaire qu’il génère implique le souci de la pérennisation de cette identité en diaspora. La langue est ressentie jusqu’à présent comme un marqueur fort d’appartenance identitaire, cependant, ses domaines

  • The Reconstruction of Armenian Identity in Turkey and the Weekly Agos*
    THE RECONSTRUCTION OF ARMENIAN IDENTITY IN TURKEY AND THE WEEKLY AGOS* BASKIN ORAN ABSTRACT I delivered this paper in March 2002 at the Turkish-Armenian conference in Ann Arbor, Michigan. "A lot of water has run under the bridges", as we say in Turkish, to mean that a lot has happened since I read it at that date. I'll not go into it because Agos has come to be internationally known since the loss of my great friend (and editor-in-chief) Hrant. I'll only say this much: Agos is now 24 pages, is sold throughout Turkey, is widely followed and respected in intellectual circles, is available on the Internet. Hrant has founded this paper, has placed it right in the middle of the Turkish ordeal for real democracy, and made it famous by his death. Martyrs accomplish more after they pass away. KEYWORDS Armenian identity, Agos, nationalism, minorities. *The title of this paper was inspired by a seminar paper in French prepared by Mehmet Timuc,in Hastas, student at Marmara University in Istanbul, for the academic year 1997-98, under the direction of Associate Professor Fusun Ustel: Agos ou La Reconstruction de I'Identite Armenienne. 124 THE TURKISH YEARBOOK [VOL. XXXVII Introduction: The Road to the Birth of Agos Since about five or six years the Armenian identity in Turkey has been going through a very radical process of reconstruction. This non-Muslim minority, to use the terms of the Lausanne Peace Treaty of 1923, has started to participate in the country's politico-cultural life very actively.
