They All Made Peace - What Is Peace?
Chapter by Lerna Ekmekcioglu, professor of history and director of the Program in Women's and Gender Studies
University of Chicago Press · 2023
In her chapter, Ekmekcioglu contends that the Treaty of Lausanne, which followed the first world war, is an often-overlooked event of great historical significance for Armenians. The treaty became the "birth certificate" of modern Turkey, but there was no redress for Armenians. The chapter uses new research to reconstruct the dynamics of the treaty negotiations, illuminating both Armenians' struggles as well as the international community's struggles to deliver consistent support for multiethnic, multireligious states.
From Summer 2024 recommended reading from MIT (MIT News).
