Aykut Tuzcu, derin bilgi sahibi, fikir üreten, yüksek kavrama ve analiz becerilerine sahip, yaşadığı topluma değer katan gerçek bir entelektüeldi. Yaşadığı kenti, onu çevreleyen bölgeyi ve dünyayı çok yakından takip eden, yerli ve yabancı basını dikkatle izleyen, çevresinde olanları bu derinlikle analiz ederek okurlarına aktarmayı bilen gerçek bir gazeteciydi. Yaşamının özü, baba mesleği gazeteciliğin ruhunu sürdürmekti. Bölgenin koşullarını dünya ile bütünleştiren yorumları yıllarca gazetesindeki köşesinde okurlarıyla buluştu. Günlük yazılarının kitaplaştırılması için gazetesinin Genel Yayın Yönetmeni Nurgün Balcıoğlu tarafından başlatılan çalışmalar, aramızdan zamansız ve ani ayrılışı nedeniyle ne yazık ki onun yokluğunda tamamlanabildi. Her zaman özenle kaleme aldığı, imbikten süzülmüş yazılarını kitaplaştırma amacı; yokluğuna duyduğumuz özlemi hafifletmek, anısına duyduğumuz saygı ve entelektüel birikimini okurlarıyla paylaşarak, Aykut Tuzcu adına kalıcı bir eser bırakmaktır.
A TurkÕs discovery that Armenians once thrived in his hometown leads to a groundbreaking investigation into the local dynamics of genocide. mit Kurt, born and raised in Gaziantep, Turkey, was astonished to learn that his hometown once had a large and active Armenian community. The Armenian presence in Aintab, the cityÕs name during the Ottoman period, had not only been destroyedÑit had been replaced. To every appearance, Gaziantep was a typical Turkish city. Kurt digs into the details of the Armenian dispossession that produced the homogeneously Turkish city in which he grew up. In particular, he examines the population that gained from ethnic cleansing. Records of land confiscation and...

In the early part of the twentieth century, as Europe began its descent into the First World War, the Ottoman world – once the largest Empire in the Middle East – began to experience a revolution which would culminate in the new, secular Turkish state. Alongside this, in 1915, as part of an increasing nationalism, it enacted a genocide against its Armenian citizens. In this new study, Hans-Lukas Kieser marshals a dazzling array of scholars to re-evaluate the approach and legacy of the Young Turks – whose eradication of the Armenians from Asia Minor would have far-reaching consequences. Kieser argues that genocide led to today's crisis-ridden Middle East and set in place a rigid state system whose effects are still felt in Turkey today.Featuring new and groundbreaking work on the role of bureaucracy, the actors outside of Istanbul and re-centreing Armenian agency in the genocide, The End of the Ottomans is a vital new study of the Ottoman world, the Armenian Genocide and of the Middle East.
"A sharp, spirited appreciation of where Turkey stands now, and where it may head." —Carlin Romano, The Philadelphia Inquirer In the first edition of this widely praised book, Stephen Kinzer made the convincing claim that Turkey was the country to watch -- poised between Europe and Asia, between the glories of its Ottoman past and its hopes for a democratic future, between the dominance of its army and the needs of its civilian citizens, between its secular expectations and its Muslim traditions. In this newly revised edition of Crescent and Star, he adds much important new information on the many exciting transformations in Turkey's government and politics that have kept it in the headlines, and also shows how recent developments in both American and European policies (and not only the war in Iraq) have affected this unique and perplexing nation.
