Simon Payaslian, Kaloosdian/Mugar Chair of Armenian Genocide Studies at
Clark University, will discuss the advent of the United States as a
global power and its correlation with the internalization of the
Armenian question in the late nineteenth century. Payaslian will
discuss how the Wilson administration (1913-1921) promoted American
missionary and economic interests while still maintaining friendly
relations with the Ottoman government during the Armenian Genocide.
