Unveiling the Ugly Underside of Post-Ottoman Nation-Building Banditry and corruption lie at the heart of many of the early 20th-century struggles for independent states

The bandit, the subaltern, the nomad, the mountain dweller and the paramilitary have all been shunned in the retelling of Greece’s independence story.

Had the pleasure of exploring an incredible book project by Ümit Kurt, offering fresh insights into mid- and grassroots-level perpetrators of the Armenian Genocide. Can’t wait to see its impact!

Aras Yayıncılık tarafından yayınlanan Ümit Kurt 'un çok titiz bir çalışmayla yazdığı kitap, sıradan dediğimiz insanların bürokrasi çarklarının bir dişlisi olarak ne dehşet verici işlere imza attığını gösterip derin bir acının kucağında resmi tarihi sorgulattırıyor. #ümitkurt

As a scholar of the Armenian Genocide, this is as succinct and nuanced an explainer of the tragedy that I could hope for. Well done to Ümit Kurt at the University of Newcastle in Australia for making it. youtu.be/DXgrI8GlUB8...

We had a great talk by Ümit Kurt yesterday at SUITS’s research seminar. He presented a chapter from his next book, a biography of three local Ottoman administrators during the Armenian Genocide. It was a story about greed and opportunism rather than fervent nationalism.
