Tanner Aksham A historical announcement from the Turkish historian Tanner Aksham on his page For the first time, one of the most dangerous documented dimensions of the Armenian Genocide is being revealed with original evidence from within Turkish archives itself. Prominent Turkish historian Taner Akçam has announced the completion of a major phase of a huge archival project that documented the sale and auction of seized Armenian properties in the beginnings of the Turkish Republic. He said, “We are very pleased to announce the completion of a major phase of our archival project on the sale and auction of confiscated Armenian property... ” شف What does this archive reveal? • Hundreds of original ads from newspapers • Documenting public auctions for houses, land, shops, factories • Properties issued after the evacuation and destruction in dozens of cities during the period 1920 - 1940. These are not novels ... These are officially published documents in the newspapers of that era. Aksham confirms: These documents allow researchers to observe how “economic looting and organized takeover became the foundational elements of the new republic. ” Details of the project: • Collection of materials: Researcher Saib Chetin Oglu after years of work • Digitization and translation: Supported by the Armenian Genocide Research Program at UCLA • Full English translation: With the efforts of Atela Tuigan • The archive is now fully available in Turkish and English Why is this project important? Because this archive: • reveals a mechanism of confiscation of an organization, not randomness • Proves that the economic takeover was an essential part of the process • Gives any researcher or journalist direct access to the evidence The most dangerous in Kalam Aksham: These documents reveal that “economic looting and organized takeover have become the foundational elements of the new republic. "So, the matter wasn't a mess... Rather an integrated system to redistribute wealth on the ruins of displaced people.

About Tanner Aksham Historian and socialist Tanner Aksham received a PhD in 1995 from Hanover University for his thesis titled "Turkish National Movement and the Armenian Genocide in Istanbul between 1919 and 1922". Aksham was born in Erdahan Governorate of Turkey in 1953, and he began his interest in Turkish politics at a young age. As the editor-in-chief of a student political magazine, he was arrested in 1976 and sentenced to ten years in prison. Amnesty International adopted him as a prisoner of opinion. And a year later, he fled to Germany, where he obtained political asylum. In 1988, he started working as a scientific researcher in sociology at the Hamburg Institute of Social Research. The subject of his first research was the history of political violence and torture in the late Ottoman Empire and the early Turkish Republic. Between the years 2000 and 2002, Aksham was a visiting professor of history at the University of Michigan. He also worked as a visiting professor at the University of Minnesota's Holocaust and Genocide Studies Center. He has been a member of Clark University History Department since 2008. Scientific qualifications: PhD in History, Hannover University 1996 BS in History, Middle East Technical University, 1975 The Armenian Genocide Research Program (AGRP) within The Promise Armenian Institute at UCLA is pleased to announce the completion of a groundbreaking digital archive documenting the fate of Armenian properties confiscated during and after the Armenian Genocide. The archive, “The Auctioning of Stolen Armenian Properties: Emval-i Metruke,” is available on the AGRP’s website. Drawing on a rare collection of newspaper notices from the 1920s and 1930s, the study examines how these so-called “Abandoned Properties”, referred to as Emval-i Metruke, were publicly auctioned, with announcements published in local newspapers across 34 cities and towns in the early decades of the Turkish Republic. The archive illuminates both the historical context of these “Abandoned Properties” and the now-completed effort to digitally archive and translate these records from Ottoman Turkish into modern Turkish and English. Independent researcher Sait Çetinoğlu compiled these invaluable materials over many years, in addition to contributing an extensive introductory study on the mechanisms of property confiscation. With the support of the AGRP, this entire archive has now been digitized, translated and made fully searchable for the first time. All texts are available in both Turkish and English, with translations prepared by researcher Attila Tuygan and AGRP Program Coordinator Nanor Hartounian. This research sheds light on the systematic expropriation and redistribution of Armenian wealth — an essential and parallel dimension of the genocide. It also confronts the archival challenges of recovering these fragmented records and invites collaboration from those who may have access to additional material.
