Toronto
This year marks the 92nd anniversary of the Smyrna
Catastrophe, when much of the city, the second largest in the Ottoman Empire,
was destroyed by fire during the final phase of the Greco-Turkish War. The
calamity marked the end of a strong Christian presence in the historic Aegean
coastal regions and turned hundreds of thousands of Greeks and Armenians into
refugees.
In this illustrated lecture, Prof. Hovannisian will
discuss the important role of Smyrna (Izmir) in modern Armenian history and the
inferno that engulfed the city in September 1922. Hovannisian is the editor of
the recently published Armenian Smyrna/Izmir, the 11th volume of proceedings
from the UCLA conference series, “Historic Armenian Cities and Provinces.”
Hovannisian is the author of Armenia on the Road to
Independence, the four-volume history, The Republic of Armenia, and has edited
and contributed to more than 25 books including The Armenian Genocide in
Perspective; The Armenian People from Ancient to Modern Times; Remembrance and
Denial; Looking Backward, Moving Forward, and The Armenian Genocide: Cultural
and Ethical Legacies. He is professor emeritus of Armenian and Near Eastern
history at UCLA and is currently the chancellor fellow in the Department of
History and the Rodgers Center for Holocaust Education at Chapman University in
Orange, California.
