A COMMENT ON EDWARD J. ERIKSON'S REVIEW OF YÜCEL GÜÇLÜ, ARMENIANS AND THE ALLIES IN CILICIA, 1914–1923 (IJMES 44 [2012]: 353–55)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 April 2013
Extract
Dr. Yücel Güçlü, a career diplomat in the Turkish Foreign Ministry, has written a study of what he calls “the Armenian events” in Cilicia between 1914 and 1923. The author makes it clear in the introduction to the book that his intent is to challenge the idea that the Armenians were subjected to genocide during and after World War I. To achieve this goal he frames the issue in terms of “Armenian revolutionary and separatist movements,” countered by “the Turkish measures of self-defense,” but complicated by “Allied schemes” (p. 2).
