New English Paperback. Pbo. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In English. 549 p. "The present volume studies the issues surrounding the Turkish wartime "Wealth Tax" (1942-1943) and its implementation. As its name implies, the Wealth Tax (Varlik Vergisi), was originally conceived as a tool for taxing the extreme wealth being made through wartime profiteering and black market operations in Turkey during the Second World War. In practice, however, it was imposed in an arbitrary and discriminatory fashion, in essence representing a sort of "economic warfare" carried out by the Turkish regime against the country's non-Muslim population, appropriating much of their wealth and shattering all the hopes and aspirations for eventual religious and ethnic equality that had been held out by the Turkish Constitution some twenty years before. This study is based on documents gleaned from the National Archives of the United Kingdom and provides a detailed and chronological account of this tragic event.".

New English Paperback. Pbo. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English . [xviii], 368 p. This is the story of a violent collision among three "heroic" national movements: those of the Armenians, the French; and the Turks of the Ottoman Empire. The setting for this epic was "Cilicia and vicinity", as I termed it in my Ph. D. dissertation, on which this work is based, located at the very northeastern corner of the Mediterranean Sea, in the Turkish province of Adana and others that now border on Syria, that went on during the years between 1918 and 1922. The Turkish victory in this struggle marked the end of the first "war of national liberation" in the twentieth century and put an eighty-year hold on the Armenian national movement for lack of a territorial base from which to operate.

What was it that happened to the Armenians in 1915 and during the years of the World War One? There are those who believe that the Armenians were murdered and that this constituted genocide. There are others who think that the very least the Armenians were forced to leave the lands they lived upon and that the we should call this great tragedy. There Are also those who think that the Armenians cooperated in wartime with the enemies of the state of which they were a part and revolted against it and that consequently many Armenians lost their lives but that this was an inevitable outcome of war and that it should therefore not be referred to as genocide.

New English Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 16 cm). In English. Ills. 184 p. "One of the strongest desires of the Hrant Dink Foundation, from the very first day it was founded, was to create a memory repository on the Armenians of Turkey, based on various documents shedding light on oral history records, culture and identity. This work is the first material outcome of that desire. It aims to recover the traces of the political and cultural memory of Armenians living in Turkey and of the Armenian community, to reveal the continuity in a cultural existence, to find out how individuals with an Armenian identity perceive themselves and the 'others', and in so doing, to reflect the reality of Armenians still living in Turkey in all its political, cultural and historical dimensions. To reflect this reality, it was carried out as an oral history research study. To this end a working group under the guidance of Ferda Balancar got in touch with Armenians living in Istanbul and in various cities of Anatolia. Interviews were held with 40 people, 21 of whom were women and 19 men. 12 researchers participated in this study. This book contains 15 of those interviews. You will read the stories of people ranging from 19 to 70 years of age as they themselves told them. You will see that the stories tell not only of their remembrance of history but of their lives today. Because today is important too. And since this is so, then the last word should go to Hrant: "Come, let's understand each other first. Come, let's respect each other's suffering first. Come, let's let each other live first."

New English Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 16 cm). In English. Ills. 172 p. The sounds of silence 5: Kayseri's Armenians speak. The fifth book of the "Sounds of Silence" series has been published with the support of Consulate General of Sweden and Consulate General of Netherlands. Kayseri's Armenians Speak, is a product of the oral history project carried out since 2011 by Hrant Dink Foundation. The Sounds of Silence - 5: Kayseri's Armenians Speak, which compiles 10 out of the 28 interviews.The book contains, in addition to the oral history interviews conducted, the introduction by the historian Dr. Mehmet Polatel and the afterword by the editor Dr. Iclal Ayse Kücükkirca, whom are members of the Hrant Dink Foundation's History Program. Kayseri's Armenians Speak is taking us to a visit through the memoirs of the Armenian society. This book is giving clues about the "self" and "other" perception the Armenian society carries, by giving examples on the deportation and genocide memories transmitted through generations, as the other books of the series. Kayseri was one of the rare cities in which Armenians continued to live during the Republican period, with 1,978 Armenians registered there according to the 1927 census. This total dropped to 1,600 in 1932, to 800 in 1960 and to zero today. After the migration of Armenians living in various areas of Anatolia to Istanbul, predominantly in the 1950s, a significant number of Armenians from Kayseri gathered in the Samatya district in particular.
New English Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (21 x 15 cm). In English. 144 p., ills. The sounds of silence 4: Izmit's Armenians speak. The fourth book of the "Sounds of Silence" series has been published with the support of Consulate General of Sweden. Izmit's Armenians Speak, is a product of the oral history project carried out since 2011 by Hrant Dink Foundation. The Sounds of Silence - IV: Izmit's Armenians Speak, which compiles 9 out of the 30 interviews, is a narration of Armenian lives and differing experiences of Armenianness as it is told by people living in ¿stanbul, Yervan and Canada. The aim is thus to establish a dialogue between the reader and the narrator. The foreword by Ferda Balancar, who is a journalist and one of the Project coordinators, and the afterword by E. Aras Ergüne¿, who is a research assistant at Philosophy Department of Kocaeli University, have contributed in a significant way to the book. There is also a collection of lyrics and tongue twisters by the Armenians who lived at ¿zmit and surrounding areas. Izmit's Armenians Speak is taking us to a visit through the memoirs of the Armenian society. This book is giving clues about the "self" and "other" perception the Armenian society carries, by giving examples on the deportation and genocide memories transmitted through generations, as the other books of the series. "First, silence allows the members of the generations that had experienced the Genocide firsthand, or through the narrations of the members of the preceding generations, the relief of shutting themselves off to the trauma of the Genocide and carrying on with their daily lives. (¿) The second function that the shroud of silence serves against the Genocide experience is of a public rather than individual concern. The generations that have suffered the Genocide considered it their duty to carry the burden of their trauma to the grave so that it wouldn't rub off on the lives of the succeeding generations and so that they could create an unblemished memory space for their progeny. The way to do this is by respondin.g with silence to the questions posed to them and passing this high-mindedness on to posterity."
New English Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 16 cm). In English. Ills. 165 p. Oral history transcripts with Armenians living in Turkey and abroad. The oral history studies of Hrant Dink Foundation, which are going on since 2011, focused on Ankara Armenians for 2013. The book, which comprises 10 interviews with the Armenians of Ankara, also includes a foreword by Raymond H. Kévorkian and concluding remarks by Özgür Bal. "Just before the First World War, half of the Armenian population of Ankara county (28.858 in sum), was living in the administrative center, Ankara. The distinguishing aspect of the Ankara community was the ratio of Catholics: according to the 1914 census, 11.246 Armenians of the town were making up p of the population. Another distinguishing feature was their preference for using Armenian script to write Turkish and their use of Turkish as vernacular. (.) The educational infrastructure of the city was also developed: Six establishments of Catholics (1.200 students), three schools and colleges of Apostolics (400 students), two vocational schools, two kindergartens and two establishments belonging to Protestants. On the other hand, a rather large portion of the population was still speaking Turkish; the advancement of the Armenian language was slow (.) Around the beginning of September 1915, the Armenians of Ankara; women, children, elderly, Apostolic or Catholic, were taken out of their houses, which were sealed earlier by the police. The crowd, thousands in number, was brought together in the train station outside the city. They stayed there at least for 25 days. This time period was enough to seize their possessions and persuade the most attractive young women to convert to Islam and marry a Muslim. Those who accepted the offer were allowed to go back to the city, those who did not were eventually sent to Eskisehir and Konya, later joining the deportation line going to Syria. Throughout the first years of the Turkish Republic, a number of emigrees from inner counties (some of whom had to relocate because of unsafe conditions in some counties) settled in Ankara. Some of them became Muslims and some of them married Turkish inhabitants of the city with a special license granted by the administration. There were some who managed to obtain the administrative document which would allow them to settle in Ankara; this was, however, only possible on the condition that they would convert to Islam. A large proportion of the narratives on the following pages belong most probably to the members of such familie

The power of emptiness: Talking with stones in historical Armenia.= Boslugun gücü: Tarihi Ermenistan'da taslarla konusmak. The photographs taken in Turkey by São Paulo (Brazil) born photographer Norair Chahinian strike viewers in a number of different ways. First through their witnessing of life in various regions of Anatolia 'from the outside', by someone who has come all the way from across the world, thousands of kilometers afar. But more importantly, through their depiction 'from within' of the return of an Armenian to his roots in Maras, Urfa, Iskenderun, as he visits the land of his family after a gigantic lapse of one hundred years. Norair Chahinian was born in Brazil as the child of a family that had fallen victim to the Committee of Union and Progress' genocidal politics against Armenians during the final era of the Ottoman Empire. His grandmothers and grandfathers had lost their families during those days of catastrophe, took refuge in Aleppo, Syria, under dire circumstances and had migrated to Brazil, South America. This quest brought the photographer to Turkey where he knew no one, did not speak the language; where he was familiar neither with the climate nor the ways of the people. But in no way as a tourist. He came here determined to build a bridge between the past and present, as the last link of a family who was the victim and witness of the catastrophe experienced one hundred years ago but had managed to live, survive and build a new life on the other side of the ocean.
