“The Path to the Armenian Genocide”
by Dr. Stephan Astourian
This lecture will deal with the complex cultural, social, economic, and demographic process of polarization between Muslim (Turks and Kurds) Ottomans and Armenian Ottomans that paved the way to the Armenian Genocide. The speaker will argue that while this process laid the background for genocide, it was wartime conditions and specific events and institutions resulting from those conditions that precipitated the decision to exterminate the Armenians.
Dr. Stephan Astourian is the Executive Director of the Armenian Studies Program at the University of California, Berkeley. He is also the William Saroyan Adjunct Assistant Professor in Armenian and Caucasian history in the Department of History of that university. Astourian received his Licence (B.A.) from the University of Paris I (Sorbonne). He then pursued his graduate education there and earned a Maîtrise (M.A.) and D.E.A. (Diplôme d'Etudes Approfondies), both summa cum laude. His interest in modern Armenian history led him to move to U.C.L.A., where he earned a second M.A. and a C.Phil. with distinction. He completed his Ph.D. in Modern Armenian and Caucasian History in 1996.
