Interviews with scholars about the history of Turkey since its founding in 1923
with Lerna Ekmekçioğlu hosted by Chris Gratien, Nir Shafir, and Eda Çakmakçı Download the podcast Feed | iTunes | GooglePlay | SoundCloud After facing the destruction of their community during the First World War, former Ottoman Armenians set about rebuilding in Turkey first during a period of relative optimism under the Allied occupation of Istanbul and later as non-Muslim citizens of new Turkish nation-state.
