MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History April 24, 1915: The Turkish government arrested 250 Armenian intellectuals in Istanbul. This marked the beginning of the Armenian genocide. The Ottomans slaughtered one million Armenians during World War I, or 90% of the Armenian population. The genocide also destroyed two thousand year’s-worth of Armenian civilization in Asian Minor.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#workingclass</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaborHistory</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/armenian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#armenian</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#genocide</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ottomans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ottomans</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/turkey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#turkey</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#racism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/worldwarone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#worldwarone</a>

Three <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Armenian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Armenian</a> s were arrested and sent to the galleys for dressing as <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Muslim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Muslim</a> s. The generally accepted view on clothes in the early modern <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ottoman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ottoman</a> Empire is that sartorial laws were applied inconsistently across time and space (on which see Quataert 1997).

MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History March 22, 1920: Azeri army soldiers, in collaboration with Azeri civilians, attacked Armenian civilians in Shusha (Nagorno Karabakh) and destroyed the Armenian half of the city. The pogrom continued through March 26. The true death toll may have been well over 20,000. Between 1905 and 1920, there were at least 9 pogroms in the region, against both Armenians and Azeris, with a death toll of at least 57,000, and possibly well over 100,000. At least another 10 pogroms resumed after the fall of the Soviet Union, with hundreds more people slaughtered.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#workingclass</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaborHistory</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/azeri" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#azeri</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/armenian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#armenian</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/armenia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#armenia</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#genocide</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/azerbaijan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#azerbaijan</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/soviet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#soviet</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#russia</a>

But, you know, all we know is out of their deliberations, we have both a public law passed for the deportation of Armenians. And that is public, that's a matter of public record, that Armenians were by government order to leave their villages and be taken into deportation camps by the authorities. And then a series of secret orders, which were really communicated verbally by Dr. Şakir in many cases himself. He traveled around Eastern Anatolia or else by leading secretaries of the Committee of Union Progress in their regional provinces to call for the mass murder, particularly of the men detained. <a href="https://www.tapesearch.com/episode/the-armenian-genocide-road-to-the-deportations/BPGxPeUA6M9XyjRKyjyADL" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.tapesearch.com/episode/the-armenian-genocide-road-to-the-deportations/BPGxPeUA6M9XyjRKyjyADL</a>1/3

In 1710, Grigor of Merzifon, an <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Armenian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Armenian</a> printer in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Istanbul" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Istanbul</a>, wrote that he was using a "beautiful, eight-armed printing press made of iron" ("ը՟. թեւեան տպագրի մամուլս երկաթեան յոյժ գեղեցիկ"). All the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/earlymodern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#earlymodern</a> hand presses I've seen have had one lever and looked like they were made mostly out of wood.

Daniel OhanianWhat I'm really trying to puzzle out is how these texts compare to older and still widely available Armenian works like Grigor of Narek's Book of Lamentations (Մատեան ողբերգութեան, c. 1000 CE). Initially, I thought the European works would be very different from the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Armenian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Armenian</a> ones, having been produced in a different cultural context. But I'm finding now that they're more similar than I'd assumed—at least, in the ways that would have been noticeable to the average Armenian reader around 1700. 9/
