Notes
The assassination of the author Hrant Dink in Istanbul in 2007, a high profile advocate of Turkish-Armenian reconciliation, reignited the debate in Turkey over the Armenian Genocide. This book explains how, after the Great War, the new Turkish Republic erased the memory of the atrocities, a process to which the international community turned a blind eye. The author shows how the fight for justice shifted from the global Armenian Diaspora to within Turkey itself. This book is an important contribution to dealing with, and understanding, this still troubling stain on the Turkish name.
