DOWNLOAD EBOOK →De la mano del historiador líder mundial en la materia, la evidencia documental de las órdenes de matar firmadas por el ministro del Interior otomano Talat Pasha que demuestra la intención genocida del gobierno otomano-turco hacia su población armenia. Este libro representa un punto de inflexión en los estudios sobre genocidios en general y sobre el armenio en particular, que ha tenido como característica singular el persistente y denodado esfuerzo de sucesivos gobiernos turcos por negarlo y ocultar la evidencia documental que lo prueba. Estas páginas iluminan las líneas que a menudo se han presentado borrosas entre los hechos documentados y la verdad histórica al demostrar la autenticidad de las órdenes de matar firmadas por el ministro del Interior otomano Talat Pasha y tomar como testimonio las memorias del funcionario Naim Efendi. Contra la corriente negacionista, que durante mucho tiempo sostuvo la falsedad de los documentos que esta obra presenta, Taner Akçam, de origen turco, proporciona los elementos necesarios para demostrar por qué se puede afirmar la autenticidad de la evidencia que revela la intención genocida del gobierno otomano-turco hacia su población armenia. Este trabajo minucioso, lúcido y reflexivo contribuye a eliminar una piedra angular del edificio negacionista e invita a pensar una vez más la impunidad de los delitos de lesa humanidad.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Taner Akçam is one of the first Turkish academics to acknowledge and discuss openly the Armenian Genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman-Turkish government in 1915. This book discusses western political policies towards the region generally, and represents the first serious scholarly attempt to understand the Genocide from a perpetrator rather than victim perspective, and to contextualize those events within Turkey's political history. By refusing to acknowledge the fact of genocide, successive Turkish governments not only perpetuate massive historical injustice, but also pose a fundamental obstacle to Turkey's democratization today.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The book represents an earthquake in genocide studies, particularly in the field of Armenian Genocide research. A unique feature of the Armenian Genocide has been the long-standing efforts of successive Turkish governments to deny its historicity and to hide the documentary evidencesurrounding it. This book provides a major clarification of the often blurred lines between facts and truth in regard to these events. The authenticity of the killing orders signed by Ottoman Interior Minister Talat Pasha and the memoirs of the Ottoman bureaucrat Naim Efendi have been two of the most contested topics in this regard. The denialist school has long argued that these documents and memoirs were all forgeries, produced by Armenians to further their claims. Taner Akçam provides the evidence to refute the basis of these claims and demonstrates clearly why the documents can be trusted as authentic, revealing the genocidal intent of the Ottoman-Turkish government towards its Armenian population. As such, this work removes a cornerstone from the denialist edifice, and further establishes the historicity of the Armenian Genocide.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Turkey’s bid to join the European Union has lent new urgency to the issue of the Armenian Genocide as differing interpretations of the genocide are proving to be a major reason for the delay of the its accession. This book provides vital background information and is a prime source of legal evidence and authentic Turkish eyewitness testimony of the intent and the crime of genocide against the Armenians. After a long and painstaking effort, the authors, one an Armenian, the other a Turk, generally recognized as the foremost experts on the Armenian Genocide, have prepared a new, authoritative translation and detailed analysis of the Takvim-i Vekâyi, the official Ottoman Government record of the Turkish Military Tribunals concerning the crimes committed against the Armenians during World War I. The authors have compiled the documentation of the trial proceedings for the first time in English and situated them within their historical and legal context. These documents show that Wartime Cabinet ministers, Young Turk party leaders, and a number of others inculpated in these crimes were court-martialed by the Turkish Military Tribunals in the years immediately following World War I. Most were found guilty and received sentences ranging from prison with hard labor to death. In remarkable contrast to Nuremberg, the Turkish Military Tribunals were conducted solely on the basis of existing Ottoman domestic penal codes. This substitution of a national for an international criminal court stands in history as a unique initiative of national self-condemnation. This compilation is significantly enhanced by an extensive analysis of the historical background, political nature and legal implications of the criminal prosecution of the twentieth century’s first state-sponsored crime of genocide.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Pertinent to contemporary demands for reparations from Turkey is the relationship between law and property in connection with the Armenian Genocide. This book examines the confiscation of Armenian properties during the genocide and subsequent attempts to retain seized Armenian wealth. Through the close analysis of laws and treaties, it reveals that decrees issued during the genocide constitute central pillars of the Turkish system of property rights, retaining their legal validity, and although Turkey has acceded through international agreements to return Armenian properties, it continues to refuse to do so. The book demonstrates that genocides do not depend on the abolition of the legal system and elimination of rights, but that, on the contrary, the perpetrators of genocide manipulate the legal system to facilitate their plans.
