Abstract: The lecture will cover the period from the invasions of the
Seljuks to the Armenian Highlands to the establishment and fall of the
Ottoman Empire. The cultural, social, political and national
implications of the Seljuk invasions and the Ottoman Empire on the
indigenous Armenian population of the region and the ensuing
catastrophic developments will be discussed. The relatively well-to-do
Armenian `Amiras' of Constantinople and their role in the development
of the first `Sahmanatroutyoun' of the Armenians under the Ottoman
Empire will also be assessed. The `Armenian Question' vis-à-vis
the political maneuvers of the Ottoman Government with the European
countries will be discussed and the ethnic, political and social
environments that led to the organization and implementation the first
Genocide of the twentieth century by the Turks will be
highlighted. Light will be shed on the reasons and the circumstances
of the perpetration of the most heinous crime of the century.
