Article About The Armenians in Turkey Published by Hratch Tchilingirian
Oxford University scholar Hratch Tchilingirian has published an article entitled:
“The ‘Other’ Citizens: Armenians in Turkey Between Isolation and (Dis)integration.”
Since the establishment of the Turkish Republic, state discrimination against the Armenian community – and generally the non-Muslim minorities – has been institutionalized and systematically used towards the detriment of the target minorities. Hratch Tchilingirian’s newly published research article on the Armenians in Turkey provides a new perspective and analysis of the contemporary life of the community in the last five decades and offers new insight into this segment of the Armenian nation.
The article comes at a time when Armenians in Turkey are in the process of getting ready to elect a new Patriarch. Tchilingirian analyses the internal dynamics of the community and highlights several sociological concepts that are useful to the understanding and analysis of the Turkish state’s and society’s treatment of the Armenians today. He pays particular attention to state policies and public discourses that shed light on the current unenviable situation of the community.
