Item Open Access American foreign missions to the Armenians of the Ottoman Empire: fashioning the model of educated christian womanhood in the East in the second half of the nineteenth century(2018-01) Güven, Sarah ZeynepThe American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) was one of the first establishments to introduce a Western-style educational system to the peoples of the Ottoman Empire. This thesis is an examination of the emergence of interest in foreign missions among American women in particular, and the latter’s contribution to missionary activities. It seeks to determine how and why educational facilities for Armenian females were established and their social and religious impact, largely from the perspective of the missionaries themselves. It looks at how contact with Armenians prompted adjustments in missionary approaches and policies towards educational missions. The notion of educated Christian womanhood entailed the championing of female education and a re-imaging of the role of women as wives and mothers. The promotion of female education facilitated new opportunities for Armenian women via teaching and evangelism. The central argument of this thesis is that American missionary activity significantly contributed to the increased interest in female education among the Armenian communities of the Ottoman Empire in the second half of the nineteenth century.Item Open Access The Armenian 'relocation': the case for 'military necessity'(Terazi Yayıncılık, 2014) Salt, JeremyThis article focuses on the questions of insurgency and'military necessity' as a reason for moving the bulk of the Armenianpopulation from the eastern provinces of the Ottoman Empire in thesecond half of 1915.

Ltd. Şti., 2013) Salt, JeremyThis brief article takes as its starting point a parallel drawn by the British journalist Robert Fisk between the suffering of Armenians during the First World War and the suffering of Armenians during the current conflict in Syria. The author draws other parallels: between the manipulation of the Armenians and other ethno-religious groups to serve the interests of the entente powers between 1914-18 and the human consequences of intervention in present day Syria by western governments and their regional allies. Indeed, the entire Middle East and North Africa has been an arena for western intervention since early in the 19th century. The author looks at key events from the unfolding of the ‘Armenian question’ through to the Greek invasion of western Anatolia in 1919, carried out under the aegis of the victorious wartime powers and ending in disaster for both Anatolian Turks and Greeks. The article challenges the historical division drawn between the perpetrators of violence and the victims of violence, showing that both were to be found in virtually all ethno-religious groups in what was at the time the most destructive war in world history. The author sees the acknowledgment of this reality as the true foundation of reconciliation between groups still clinging to deeply polarized historical narratives.Item Restricted Ely sisters and foundation of mount holyoke female seminary in Bitlis(Bilkent University, 2018) Ismayılova, Leyla; Khasmamad, Shabanovi; Zulfugar, Verdiyev; Abdulla, VagıfMarry ve Charlotte Türkiye’ye gelen misyoner gezginlerdi.
