A Presentation By Molly Sullivan, Esq., Director & Curator, Near East Relief Historical Society - Near East Foundation
2015 marks the centennial of the Armenian Genocide and the founding of the Near East Foundation (NEF) – proud successor to the Near East Relief, which was founded in 1915 in response to the massive humanitarian crisis precipitated by the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire. The NEF has created the Near East Relief Historical Society (“NERHS”), an educational initiative dedicated to the preservation, reconstruction, and dissemination of the relief effort’s history and archival materials. Ms. Sullivan will provide an overview of the NERHS and the scope of its activities to honor the Near East Relief's Centennial and which will coincide with commemorations of the Armenian Genocide.

In commemoration of the Armenian Genocide centenary: Building the “Model Ottoman Citizen”: Life and Death in the Region of Harput-Mamüretülaziz
A talk by Vahé Tachjian
details: Using a “microhistory” perspective, this talk analyzes Armenian daily life in the Kharpert/Harput region in the extensive Ottoman Empire from the 1908 Young Turk Revolution to the 1915 Genocide. The focus is on the Kharpert Plain that comprises the towns of Kharpert and Mamüretülaziz (Mezire, present day Elazığ) and the surrounding Armenian villages. Tachjian examines the articles, lectures, memoirs and letters of two notable intellectuals from Kharpert, Hovhannes Bujicanian and Donabed Lulejian. He discovers a rich, minority narrative from the margins. Armenians’ understanding of being model Ottoman citizens differed vastly from the government during the decisive last years of the Empire.
Vahé Tachjian is Director and Editor-in-Chief of “Houshamadyan.” He was born in Lebanon and earned a Ph.D. in History and Civilization at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) in Paris. He is the author of La France en Cilicie et en Haute-Mésopotamie: Aux confins de la Turquie, de la Syrie et de l’Irak, 1919-1933 (2004).
Distinguished Professor Ervand Abrahamian (History, Baruch and the Graduate Center, CUNY) will offer comments and moderate the Q&A
