Download Great Catastrophe: Armenians and Turks in the Shadow of Genocide AudioBook Free
The damage of the Armenians of the Ottoman Empire in 1915-16 was the best atrocity of World Warfare I. Around one million Armenians were killed, and the survivors were scattered across the world. Although it is now a hundred years old, the problem of what almost all of the world calling the Armenian Genocide of 1915 is still a live and divisive issue that mobilizes Armenians across the world, shapes the individuality 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 aftermath and politics of the Armenian Genocide and instructs the storyline of recent attempts by courageous Armenians, Kurds, and Turks to come to terms with the catastrophe as Turkey gets into a fresh post-Kemalist era. The story of what occurred to the Armenians in 1915-16 is well-known. Here our company is advised the "history of the history" and the lesser-known story of what occurred to Armenians, Kurds, and Turks in the hundred years that implemented. De Waal relates how different decades tackled the problem of the "Great Catastrophe" from the 1920s until the failing of the Protocols agreed upon by 3rd party Armenia and Turkey this year 2010. Quarrels between diaspora Armenians assisting and opposing the Soviet Union broke into violence and culminated with the murder of archbishop in 1933. The devising of the word "genocide", the growth of modern individuality politics, and the 50th anniversary of the massacres re-energized a fresh era of Armenians. In Turkey the problem was initially ignored, only to go back to the political agenda in the context of the Chilly Warfare and an outbreak of Armenian terrorism. Recently, Turkey has began to confront its taboos. Within an amazing revival of dental background, the descendants of thousands of "Islamized Armenians", who have been in the shadows since 1915, have started to reemerge and reclaim their identities.
