BELMONT, Mass.-On Thurs., Oct. 17, Rifat Bali, the author of Model
Citizens of The State: The Jews of Turkey during the Multi-Party Period
(Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 2012), will give a lecture
titled "Forced Turkification, Anti-Semitism, and Lobbying against
Recognition of the Armenian Genocide," at the National Association for
Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR) Center in Belmont. The lecture
will be co-sponsored by the Zoryan Institute for Contemporary Armenian
Research and Documentation and NAASR.
The cover of 'Model Citizens of the State'
Using archival material and first-hand accounts, Model Citizens of
the State exposes the treatment of the Jewish community in Turkey from
1950 to present, the struggle of Turkish Jews for their constitutional
rights, their fight against anti-Semitism, and the indifferent attitude
of the Turkish establishment to these problems, and illustrates how the
Turkish establishment coerced the leaders of the Jewish community-and
through them Jewish organizations in the United States-to thwart
efforts to gain recognition of the Armenian Genocide.
Rifat N. Bali is an independent scholar specializing in the history
of Turkish Jews and is an associate member of the Alberto-Benveniste
Center for Sephardic Studies and the Sociocultural History of the Jews
(Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes/CNRS/Universite Paris-Sorbonne). He
is the winner of the Alberto Benveniste Research Award for 2009 for
his publications on Turkish Jewry.
The event begins at 7:30 p.m., at 395 Concord Ave., Belmont. The NAASR
Bookstore will open at 7 p.m. the night of the lecture. Model Citizens
of The State: The Jews of Turkey during the Multi-Party Period will be
available for purchase the night of the lecture. For more information
