    UNGOR TO TALK AT NAASR ON 'GENOCIDE IN CONTEXT OF TERRITORY'

    ARMENPRESS
    APRIL 4, 2012
    BELMONT

    BELMONT, APRIL 4, ARMENPRESS: On Thurs., April 26, historian Ugur
    Unit Ungor will give a lecture entitled "Race and Space: The Armenian
    Genocide in the Context of Population and Territory,'" at 8 p.m. at
    the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR)
    Center on 395 Concord Ave. in Belmont, reports Armenpress citing The
    Armenian Weekly.

    Based on a decade of research on a range of unexamined records, Ungor
    demonstrates that the Armenian Genocide was part and parcel of this
    wider process. He will offer insights into the economic ramifications
    of the genocide and describe how the plunder was organized on the
    ground. He will conclude that this violent process not only destroyed
    historical regions and emptied multicultural cities, but also cleared
    the way for the modern Turkish nation state.

    Ungor is an assistant professor at the department of history of
    Utrecht University and the Institute for War and Genocide Studies
    in Amsterdam. He specializes in genocide, mass violence, and ethnic
    conflict. His recent publications include Confiscation and Destruction:
    The Young Turk Seizure of Armenian Property (Continuum, 2011) and
    The Making of Modern Turkey: Nation and State in Eastern Anatolia,
    1913-1950 (Oxford University Press, 2011).
