The Bay Area Armenian National Committee Presents:Armenian Organization and Ideology under Ottoman Rulea book by Dikran KaligianArmenian Organization and Ideology under Ottoman Rule is a first-of-its kind book, providing a comprehensive picture of Armeno-Turkish relations for the short but pivotal period of Ottoman rule between 1908 and 1914, leading up to the Armenian Genocide. The author examines the interactions between Ottoman Empire's governing party, the Committee for Union and Progress and the Armenian Revolutionary Federation, through internal ARF documents, existing research on the last years of the empire, as well as the archives of the British, American, and German diplomatic corps. By describing unofficial contacts, political relations, and provincial administration and conditions, Kaligian provides an important account of this key period in Ottoman history, resolving many conflicting assumptions about the political relations between the parties.Dr. Dikran Mesrob Kaligian has taught history at Clark University and Regis, Westfield State, and Wheaton colleges. He is past chairperson of the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) Eastern Region and Managing Editor of the Armenian Review. He received his Ph. D. in history from Boston College. His book, 'Armenian Organization and Ideology under Ottoman Rule, 1908-1914' was published in 2009 by Transaction Publishing.Armenian Organization and Ideology under Ottoman Rule will be available for purchase at the event.
