Course Objective

The course Minorities in Türkiye aims to examine the process that minorities and the concept of minority have gone through from the Ottoman Empire to the Republic of Türkiye. First of all, the emergence of nationalism, nation-state and minority law in the modern world will be discussed, and the issues of minority in the Ottoman Empire and the Republic of Türkiye will be discussed. Beyond these, the effects of minority issues on the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire will be evaluated, while also taking into account the political legacy left to the new regime in this regard. The concept of minority in the Republic of Türkiye will be defined based on the legal and political framework drawn by the Treaty of Lausanne.
