Book Synopsis Breaking the Ice: The Role of Civil Society and Media in Turkey-Armenia Relations by : Susae Elanchenny
Download or read book Breaking the Ice: The Role of Civil Society and Media in Turkey-Armenia Relations written by Susae Elanchenny and published by GPoT. This book was released on 2010 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost three years have passed since the Protocols on Turkey-Armenia relations were signed in October 2009. With their failure to be ratified less than a year later, Turkey-Armenia relations have once again seemingly fallen off of the Turkish government, media and public's agenda. Three years from now on April 24, Armenians will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the mass massacres and deportations of Armenians that took place in the Ottoman Empire between 1915 and 1917. Without a new initiative to re- start the rapprochement process, it seems like the next time the Armenia issue will be on Turkey's agenda in a significant way will be during this commemoration. In short, official relations are "frozen" at present and perhaps for the near future. Yet GPoT Center's extensive experience in "second-track" diplomacy and conflict resolution projects in various countries gives it a long-term view that lends it hope about future prospects for Turkey- Armenia relations. Particularly in Armenia, GPoT has enacted and continues to enact numerous exchange programs, roundtable discussions and research projects with its Armenian partners that bring together stakeholders from both countries to create and foster dialogue.
Book Synopsis Unsilencing the Past by : David L. Phillips
Download or read book Unsilencing the Past written by David L. Phillips and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2005-02-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Turkish-Armenian conflict has lasted for nearly a century and still continues in attenuated forms to poison the relationship between these two peoples. The author, Senior Fellow and Deputy Director of the Center for Preventive Action at the Council on Foreign Relations and previously advisor to the United Nations, undertook, as head of the Turkish-Armenian Reconciliation Committee, to bring the two sides together and to work with them towards a peaceful resolution of the enmity that had made any contact between them taboo. His lively account of the difficult negotiations makes fascinating reading; it shows that the newly developed “track-two diplomacy” is an effective tool for reconciling even intractable foes through fostering dialog, contact and cooperation.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Politics - Region: Near East, Near Orient, grade: 1,3, http://www.uni-jena.de/, language: English, abstract: 1 1. Introduction Armenian–Turkish relations have been strained by a number of historical and political issues and the current status of this relations can traced back to the last moments of the Ottoman Empire and to be more specific to the massacres on the Armenians living in this empire. According to available historical records and depending on the point of view, between 1915 and 1923, more between 300.000 and more than one million Armenians were killed by the Ottoman authorities. In the last years Armenia and its diaspora has campaigned heavily for international recognition of the killings. The modern Turkish state, the successor states of the Ottoman Empire, has repeatedly and heavily refused to acknowledge the Armenian interpretation of events. The Turkish government insists that the circumstances and the actually happening in this period of time were different and less horrific than the Armenian version is telling. Most recently the bilateral relations between Armenia and Turkey took another serious nosedive in the wake of the war between Armenia and Azerbaijan at the beginning of the 1990s. As a loyal supporter of the Azerbaijan Turkey froze its diplomatic relations with Armenia and closed its common border. These two historical events and their consequences strain the relationship between the two neighboring states, which still have no formal diplomatic relation and Recent attempts of the international community to normalize the relations failed. In this submitted term paper the historical development of the relationship between Armenia and Turkey supposed to be shown, whereas a special emphasis is put on the massacre on the Armenians in 1914/1915 and the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh. These two events play a crucial and decisive key role in Turkish-Armenian relations and are therefore considered separately. Subsequently the development of the modern relation since the year 2000 is to be analyzed to give an answer to the question, whether the bilateral relations can be normalized and a diplomatic relation can be installed in the near future.

Book excerpt: The Challenge of Statehood is a timely book on politics in Armenia and its Diaspora since Armenia's independence. The volume analyzes how conflicting interpretations of history have nurtured competing policies and influenced the future of Armenia and of its relations with its neighbors. The author challenges ideologized views of war and diplomacy, of the Genocide and the politics of its recognition, and of national unity and political legitimization. He explores the Nagorno Karabagh conflict, the difficult relations with Turkey, and the relationship between Homeland and Diaspora. The author argues that the resignation of President Levon Ter-Petrossian in 1998 constituted a watershed in the ongoing battle between pragmatic and ideological concepts of independence statehood and nationhood.

Book Synopsis The Karabagh Conflict and Its Effects on Turkey's Role in the Caucasus by : Bulent Akdeniz
Download or read book The Karabagh Conflict and Its Effects on Turkey's Role in the Caucasus written by Bulent Akdeniz and published by . This book was released on 2001-12-01 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the Karabagh conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia and its implication on the Caucasus regional security in general and Turkey's role in particular. It investigates the causes of the conflict from a theoretical, historical and practical view and evaluates the role of the various international actors in the conflict. This thesis also traces the role of oil and oil politics in resolving the conflict and contrarily examines how the conflict affects the development of the oil in the Caucasus region. This study concludes that the Karabagh conflict and the ensuing events eroded the Turkish role in the Caucasus and created a situation prone to instability and renewed violence. This study provides specific recommendations for Turkish foreign policy makers to enhance the stability in the region without sacrificing Turkish interests. Recommendations include increased relations and engagement with Iran and Russia and the further containment of Armenia until a dramatic change in its attitude is observed.
Book Synopsis Turkey-Russia Partnership in the War Over Nagorno-Karabakh by : Daria Isachenko
Download or read book Turkey-Russia Partnership in the War Over Nagorno-Karabakh written by Daria Isachenko and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zusammenfassung: By siding with Azerbaijan in the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, Turkey is primarily pursuing the goal of undermining the current status quo of the region. Ankara aims above all to secure a place at the table where a solution to the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan will be negotiated in the future. The Syrian scenario should serve as an example. Turkey thus wants to negotiate with Russia in the South Caucasus, preferably without Western actors. Ankara's plans are not uninteresting for Moscow. However, because of the complexity of Turkish-Armenian relations, there is a risk that Armenia and Turkey might become the eventual opponents in this conflict, rather than Armenia and Azerbaijan. The EU's engagement should not be determined by its tense relationship with Turkey, but rather by the UN Security Council resolutions on Nagorno-Karabakh

Book Synopsis The International Politics of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Conflict by : Svante E. Cornell
Download or read book The International Politics of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Conflict written by Svante E. Cornell and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-20 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book frames the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh in the context of European and international security. It is the first book to focus on the politics of the conflict rather than the dispute itself. Since their emergence twenty years ago, this and other “frozen conflicts” of Eurasia have been affected by transformations in European security, and many ways absorbed into an ever fiercer geopolitical struggle for influence. The wars in Georgia and Ukraine brought greater attention to some unresolved conflicts, but not to the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan. As the contributors to this volume argue, the conflict merits much greater European attention, for several reasons: it is on a path of escalation, existing mediation regimes are dysfunctional, and as both Georgia and Ukraine have showed, any outbreak of serious fighting will force the EU to respond. This book thus explains the interlocking interests of Russia, Turkey, Iran, the EU and United States in the conflict, and analyzes the negotiation process and the conflict’s international legal aspects.
Book Synopsis Great Catastrophe by : Thomas De Waal
Download or read book Great Catastrophe written by Thomas De Waal and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2015 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The destruction of the Armenians of the Ottoman Empire in 1915-16 was a brutal mass crime that prefigured other genocides in the 20th century. By various estimates, more than a million Armenians were killed and the survivors were scattered across the world. Although it is now a century old, the issue of what most of the world calls the Armenian Genocide of 1915 has not been consigned to history. It is a live and divisive political issue that mobilizes Armenians across the world, touches the identity and politics of modern Turkey, and has consumed the attention of U.S. politicians for years. In Great Catastrophe, the eminent scholar and reporter Thomas de Waal looks at the changing narratives and politics of the Armenian Genocide and tells the story of recent efforts by courageous Armenians, Kurds, and Turks to come to terms with the disaster as Turkey enters a new post-Kemalist era. The story of what happened to the Armenians in 1915-16 is well-known. Here we are told the much less well-known story of what happened to Armenians, Kurds, and Turks in its aftermath. First Armenians were divided between the Soviet Union and a worldwide diaspora, with different generations and communities of Armenians constructing new identities, while bitter intra-Armenian quarrels sometimes broke out into violence. In Turkey, the Armenian issue was initially forgotten and suppressed, only to return to the political agenda in the context of the Cold War, an outbreak of Armenian terrorism in the 1970s and the growth of modern 'identity politics' in the age of genocide-consciousness. In the last decade, Turkey has begun to confront its taboos and finally face up to the Armenian issue. New, more sophisticated histories are being written of the deportations of 1915, now with the collaboration of Turkish scholars. In Turkey itself there has been an astonishing revival of oral history, with tens of thousands of people coming out of the shadows to reveal a long-suppressed Armenian identity. However, a normalization process between the Armenian and Turkish states broke down in 2010. Drawing on archival sources, reportage and moving personal stories, de Waal tells the full story of Armenian-Turkish relations since the Genocide in all its extraordinary twists and turns. He strips away the propaganda to look both at the realities of a terrible historical crime and also the divisive 'politics of genocide' it produced. The book throws light not only on our understanding of Armenian-Turkish relations but also of how mass atrocities and historical tragedies shape contemporary politics"--
Download or read book Stone Dreams written by Akram Aylisli and published by Academic Studies PRess. This book was released on 2022-08-16 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amid ethnic violence, political corruption, and petty professional intrigue, an artist tries to live free of lies. Set during the last years of the Soviet Union, Stone Dreams tells the story of Azerbaijani actor Sadai Sadygly, who lands in a Baku hospital while trying to protect an elderly Armenian man from a gang of young Azerbaijanis. Something of a modern-day Don Quixote, Sadai has long battled the hatred and corruption he observes in contemporary Azerbaijani society. Wandering in and out of consciousness, he revisits his hometown, the ancient village of Aylis, where Christian Armenians and Muslim Azeris once lived peacefully together, and dreams of making a pilgrimage of atonement to Armenia. Stone Dreams is a searing, painful meditation on the ability of art and artists—of individual human beings—to make change in the world.
Book Synopsis Rebel Land by : Christopher de Bellaigue
Download or read book Rebel Land written by Christopher de Bellaigue and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2010-04-19 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An engaging and impassioned look at Turkey's identity crisis 'A brilliant literary thriller, an incursion into forbidden territory that is all the more gripping for being true' The Times 'Sifting through propaganda, partisan accounts and evasive oral histories, de Bellaigue delivers a comprehensive primer in Turkish political history' Guardian _______________________________ What is the meaning of love and death in a remote, forgotten, impossibly conflicted part of the world? In Rebel Land the acclaimed author and journalist Christopher de Bellaigue journeys to Turkey's inhospitable eastern provinces to find out. Immersing himself in the achingly beautiful district of Varto, a place left behind in Turkey's march to modernity, medieval in its attachment to race and religious sect, he explores the violent history of conflict between Turks, Kurds and Armenians, and the maelstrom, of emotion and memories, that defines its inhabitants even today. The result is a compellingly personal account of one man's search into the past, as de Bellaigue, mistrusted by all he meets, and particularly by the secret agents of the State, applies his investigative flair and fluent Turkish to unlock jealously-guarded taboos and hold humanity's excesses up to the light of a very modern sensibility.
Book Synopsis The Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict by : Heiko Krüger
Download or read book The Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict written by Heiko Krüger and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-07-30 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Caucasus region, situated on a natural isthmus between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, has long been a border zone and a melting pot for a diverse range of cultures and peoples. As the intersection between Europe and Asia, and also - tween Russia and the Ottoman and Persian Empires, it has featured in the strategic plans of numerous great powers over the centuries. Given its abundance of natural resources, the ready-made raw material transport routes to Europe and its enduring position on the edge of Russia, nothing has changed to the present day. The tremendous development opportunities of the Caucasian region are being tarnished by unresolved territorial conflicts that put a continual and regionally balanced growth, sustained democratisation and long-term stability at risk. These conflicts, which all erupted with the dissolution of the Soviet Union, include the separatist movements in Abkhazia, Chechnya, Nagorno-Karabakh and South - setia. The war over South Ossetia, which erupted between Russia and Georgia in August 2008, spelt out the explosive potential still inherent in these conflicts.
Book Synopsis Armenia’s Velvet Revolution by : Anna Ohanyan
Download or read book Armenia’s Velvet Revolution written by Anna Ohanyan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-03 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April 2018, Armenia experienced a remarkable popular uprising leading to the resignation of Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan and his replacement by protest leader Nikol Pashinyan. Evoking Czechoslovakia's similarly peaceful overthrow of communism 30 years previously, the uprising came to be known as Armenia's 'Velvet Revolution': a broad-based movement calling for clean government, democracy and economic reform. This volume examines how a popular protest movement, showcasing civil disobedience as a mass strategy for the first time in the post-Soviet space, overcame these unpromising circumstances. Situating the events in Armenia in their national, regional and global contexts, different contributions evaluate the causes driving Armenia's unexpected democratic turn, the reasons for regime vulnerability and the factors mediating a non-violent outcome. Drawing on comparative perspectives with democratic transitions across the world, this book will be essential reading for those interested in the regime dynamics, social movements and contested politics of contemporary Eurasia, as well as policy-makers and practitioners in the fields of democracy assistance and human rights in an increasingly multipolar world.
Book Synopsis The Karabakh Conflict Between Armenia and Azerbaijan by : M. Hakan Yavuz
Download or read book The Karabakh Conflict Between Armenia and Azerbaijan written by M. Hakan Yavuz and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-29 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on Post-Soviet ethnic conflicts and Russia's involvement in them. In light of its significant importance for general ethnic conflict, specifically the post-Soviet Caucasus, along with the most recent war just fought over the area from September-November 2020, this book appropriately argues that it is time to reconsider Karabakh. This project deals with the historical, social and political aspects of the Karabakh issue regarding its origins, development and the current status of the conflict subsequent to the war in the autumn of 2020. Thus, the main themes will stress these points, as well as the importance of the Karabakh issue for the future, by considering its precedents and implications for other secessionist wars. This book also explores how such wars begin and end, the international legal precedents of self-determination versus territorial integrity, its implications for post-Soviet developments and conflicts, and the latest successful weapons developments lessons from the recent war involving drones, among others such as Azerbaijan’s rich oil reserves.
