THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE THROUGH THE PRISM OF THE ADANA MASSACRES

A Lecture By
Dr. Bedross Der Matossian

Department of History, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

This lecture will discuss the different levels of reactions to the Adana
massacres and the extent to which this new analysis can add to the
understanding of the larger scope of violence that was inflicted on the
indigenous Armenian population during World War I. It has also been
described by historians to be a turning point for the Armenians living in
the Ottoman Empire. Unlike the existing historiographies on the subject,
this lecture will provide a new analysis of the massacres by examining the
erosion of social and political stability in Anatolia and changes in the
dynamics of power as a result of the revolution.
