Armenian Medical Society 1912-1922

Armenian Ethical Society 1912-1922 Book Description The great hope of liberation that surrounded the capital of the Ottoman Empire at the beginning of the 20th century was destroyed within a few years by the Balkan and World War I. Could the Armenian society, which embraced this hope of freedom in 1908, have foreseen the powerful and destructive storm that blew between 1909 and 1915? In 1915, a handful of Armenian doctors in Istanbul were trying to do their jobs and heal the wounds of war and deportation, right in the middle of the storm. These doctors, who were presidents and members of the Society of Medicine, taught at the School of Medicine, served in the Hilal-i Ahmer and Red Cross societies, and served in the Ottoman army during the Balkan and World Wars, fulfilled their professional and social responsibilities even under the most unfavorable conditions. The medical pages of Tarman, the magazine of the Armenian Medical Society, which was founded in 1912 and served for ten years, and was published between 1919 and 1922, are also full of traces of the paradox experienced by these doctors. The book in your hand tells the story of these intellectuals' contradictory feelings between identity, politics and ideology, and the story of their ethnic and national ideologies, which sometimes oppose the system and sometimes overlap with the system, within their pragmatic behaviors and thoughts.
