“The Taboo within the Taboo: The Fate of the ‘Armenian Capital’ in the End of the Ottoman Empire”
One of the marginalized topics in the historiography of the Ottoman Empire in general and that of the Armenian Genocide in particular is the fate of the “Armenian economy” during World War I. Der Matossian examines or questions the fate of the “Armenian capital” in the Empire.

“The Struggle for Armenian Genocide Recognition
in the United States”
Despite the growing literature on the Armenian Genocide in recent decades, little has been written about the post-Genocide history of the Armenians or their decades-long struggle for justice in the face of Turkish denial of this atrocity. This lecture fills that gap by closely analyzing this period through the use of previously untapped archives and Freedom of Information Requests.

“The Less-Known Victims of the Armenian
Genocide”
Following a brief introduction to the less-known martyred writers of the 1915 Armenian Genocide, this lecture dwells on the seldom-mentioned victims of the annihilating policy, including those who ceased to be productive after being tortured and those who converted to Islam so as to survive. The lecture explicates the consequences of its loss for the Armenian Church and people, and concludes with a justifiable view that perceives today’s Armenians as victims of the Genocide.
