Historians, assisted by newly discovered or recently published materials, must continually reassess events of the past in order to achieve a rounder view. The Armenian events of 1915 are certainly no exception. This study encourages further engagement between the policy-making and the scholarly communities by indicating the continued importance of past records and documents for today's pressing debates. In order to give a fuller picture, this survey also looks at some major relevant archival sources outside Turkey, including the state of archives of the First Republic of Armenia and those of the Dashnak Party. Yücel Güçlü's inquiry sheds light on some of the British records relating to the First World War and its immediate aftermath locked at the National Archives in Kew, London, and he examines the special relevance of repositories in Moscow and St. Petersburg in understanding the Turkish-Armenian conflict. Güçlü assesses Turkey's proposal to establish an international historians' commission to investigate the Armenian events of 1915 and reviews in-depth the meanings and implications of the protocols of cooperation signed between Turkey and Armenia on 10 October 2009. By turning a modern eye on historical events, this study gives great and necessary attention to discovering the precise chronology, meaning, and development of the continuing negotiations between Turkey and Armenia.-- |cProvided by Publisher. 505 00 |tIntroduction Why the present study? |tSubject Matter Sources and Methodology |gChapter 1. |tEarliest Origins and Structures of the Ottoman Archives Origins of the Ottoman Archives Ottoman Paleography and Diplomatics Conservation and Classification in the BOA Introductions and Guides to the BOA -- |gChapter 2. |tEmergence of Modern Turkey's Archive System The First Modern Archives Archival and Library Resources in İstanbul The Prime Minister's Office Ottoman Archive The Structure of Ottoman Government Orders Format Tax Registers Registers of Ottoman Non-Muslims Yıldız Palace Archive The State of Ottoman Records and Papers -- |gChapter 3. |tDevelopments in the Turkish Archives Since 1989 Turgut Özal and the Archives -- |gChapter 4. |tArchives and Historical Controversy Developments Since Opening the Archives The Milestone Case of Perinçek v.
