OverviewAfter the Armenian genocide of 1915, in which over a million Armenians died, thousands of Armenian-Turks lived and worked in the Turkish state alongside those who had persecuted their communities. Living under heavy censorship, and in an atmosphere of official denial that the deaths were a genocide, how did Turkish Armenians record their own history? Here, Talin Suciyan explores the life experienced by Turkey's Armenian communities as Turkey's great modernisation project of the 20th century gathered pace.Suciyan achieves this through analysis of remarkable new primary material: Turkish state archives, minutes of the Armenian National Assembly, a kaleidoscopic series of personal diaries, memoirs and oral histories, various Armenian periodicals such as newspapers, yearbooks and magazines, as well as statutes and laws which led to the continuing persecution of Armenians. The first history of its kind, The Armenians in Modern Turkey is a fresh contribution to the history of modern Turkey and the Armenian experience there.

The subjects broached in this work until now constituted a white page, doubtless because the Turkish academic environment was not interested in conducting a study of this nature. The wealth and the originality of the sources is unique, and keeps a good balance between the interventionism of the Turkish state and the internal problems of Armenian society. Highly recommended.' - Raymond Kevorkian, author of The Armenian Genocide: A Complete History (I.B.Tauris, 2011) `This study fills a historiographical vacuum.
