Should Armenians be defined, positioned and treated as subjects according to the Ottoman millet system or equal citizens according to the modern law? In this talk, the speaker discusses the transition from the Ottoman Empire to the Turkish Republic in terms of treatment of Armenians and if it made any difference for them. It tries to decipher the approach of the state to the Armenian community to understand the problems they have faced from the beginning of the republic to today.
