    Ethnic Cleansing and Diplomacy: A View of the Greek-Turkish Exchange of Populations of 1923-24 from the US National Archives
    (Brill, 2021) Aktar, Ayhan
    This article is on the diplomatic processes leading to the decision to exchange populations between Greece and Turkey during the peace negotiations at the Lausanne Conference in 1923. The US National Archives has rich and hitherto unexploited archival material that encompasses the correspondence between Istanbul, Athens and the US Department of State. As the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs Archives is still closed to researchers, US diplomatic correspondence gives a clear picture of how Greek and Turkish statesmen, as well as intermediaries such as the representatives of the League of Nations, developed and accomplished the idea of population exchange in 1922-23.

    THE STRUGGLE BETWEEN NATIONALIST AND JIHADIST NARRATIVES OF GALLIPOLI, 1915-2015
    (Oxford Univ Press, 2020) Aktar, Ayhan
    There have been a number of milestones in the (re-)writing of the history of the Gallipoli campaign (1915). First, the dominant Turkish nationalist historiography 'Turkified' the victory of the Ottoman Imperial Army. Narratives of the 193os were also constructed in such a way that the presence of Mustafa Kemal (later Atattirk) was used as a bridge to attach the Gallipoli campaign of 1915 to the Turkish War of Independence (1919-1922). In later years, Islamist poets such as Mehmet Akif wrote poems presenting the campaign as a kind of 'Resistance of Islam against the Infidel'. However, it was not until the mid-199os that the Gallipoli campaign came to be framed as an 'Invasion of Crusaders into the House of Islam'. This new narrative reflects a jihadist revision. In this article, these trends will be analysed within the framework of operations of political power in both civil society and the state.

    Who Sank the Battleship Bouvet on 18 March 1915? The Problems of Imported Historiography in Turkey
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) Aktar, Ayhan
    This article traces how differing perspectives on the sinking of the French battleship Bouvet ultimately denied the Ottoman artillery credit for the success. The official British account would attribute the defeat to 'floating mines' and to the 'luck' of the Turks in March 1915 first, and later to the Nusret's minefield when they published their official history in 1921. Following the Great War and the occupation of Istanbul, the Ottoman officers who participated in the naval operations revised their own accounts and imported the British official narrative of the event. In understanding this overlooked case using newly disclosed Ottoman and German accounts, we can analyse how the losers' historiography is vulnerable to overt influence from the victors' hegemonic official historiography.
