Minority press: The case of Greek-Orthodox minority of Istanbul and the Greek-Turkish relations, 1950-1955
(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2009) Taschounidou, Eleni; Özkırımlı, Umut
ABSTRACT: This thesis is based on a personal research on minority newspapers circulating in Istanbul during the years 1950-1955, which are gathered on the archives of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Istanbul. Using one of the newspapers, Apogevmatini, as our main source of information, we examine the Greek-Turkish Relations and the attitudes of the Greek-Orthodox minority. Starting point of the research is year 1950 as this year can be seen as the start of the multiparty period which, in turn allowed for more freedom in expression and our finishing point is the 6/7 September 1955 events, as they signalled a tremendous change in the minority life. First we take a closer look at the events of 1955 and also to the political environment in Turkey and Greece at the time. Then we evaluate the 6/7 September events from the point of view of ethno-national riots. In light of these, we proceed to examine the press and newspapers in Turkey and then we study the particular characteristics of Apogevmatini. Finally looking through articles from the period in question we make some observations about the minority, its self-determination, its congruence and its identity.
