Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Arapların 1915’i: Soykırım, Kimlik, Coğrafya
Q: What do you think is the reason for the research in 1915 on the Arab geography?
Dağlıoğlu explains that the events of 1915 have far-reaching implications, linking violence and identity in the broader context of Middle Eastern history.
Arapların 1915’i: Soykırım, Kimlik, Coğrafya
Q: Can you tell us about the book in general terms? How did the idea for a book like this come about?
The idea originated in 2014 when the author encountered testimony about the Armenian genocide and realized that there was much to explore about the involvement of Arabs in these events.
The End of Ottoman Crete
Q: In the book, you make a point of calling it civil war. What does that term mean to you and what does that signify?
Civil war suggests a conflict between intimately familiar groups, and contemporaries viewed the events as such, despite modern narratives framing it through state perspectives.
The End of Ottoman Crete
Q: Could you talk about the demographics a little bit? And how many Muslims, how many Christians, are they living in different places?
Around 300,000 people lived on the island and one-third of this number was Muslim, and two-thirds Christian, with mixed villages of Muslims and Christians throughout the countryside.
Nationality on Trial in the 19th Century Mediterranean
Q: So how did the case turn out and what were the ramifications after?
The court ultimately ruled that Nissim Shamama remained Tunisian and applied Jewish law to his estate, though the process was lengthy and involved multiple legal disputes.
