LOST IN A DEEP STATE: A Century of Genocides
What happens after Genocide and what can be
expected of governments who perpetrate genocide? On Thursday, February 11, at
12 noon, Vicken Cheterian, author of Open
Wounds, will be In Conversation with
Salpi Ghazarian, Director of the USC Institute of Armenian Studies, about the
role of governments in perpetrating violence and rejecting responsibility. The
discussion will take place at USC Ground Zero Performance Café.
Vicken Cheterian is a journalist, a political
analyst, and a professor of media communications and
international relations at the University of Geneva. His previous books include
From Perestroika to Rainbow Revolutions:
Reform and Revolutions after Communism (2013) and War and Peace in the Caucasus: Russia’s Troubled Frontier (2009).
Cheterian is also a columnist for the Istanbul-based newspaper Agos, which was
founded by Hrant Dink.
In 2008, Salpi Ghazarian founded the
Yerevan-based Civilitas Foundation, a think tank and advocacy organization with
its own media branch, CivilNet. A pioneer in the civil society sector of
Armenia, Civilitas introduced a new culture of civic activism via Internet
television, research, and public programming. Ghazarian’s previous posts
include Special Assistant to the Foreign Minister of Armenia, head of research
for the Zoryan Institute, and editor and publisher of the Armenian
International Magazine.
“Each conversation with Vicken
Cheterian unfolds a new aspect of the complicated relationship that develops
over time between a government that perpetrates genocide, such as Turkey’s, and
the victims and their descendants, who are denied validation, acknowledgement,
recognition, and therefore normalcy. In the case of the Armenian Genocide
and its victims, 100 years later, the situation is very much one of OPEN
WOUNDS, as his new book title suggests,” says Ghazarian.
The
talk will be live streamed at http://tinyurl.com/indeepstate so those who can’t
attend can watch. The video of the discussion will be available on the
Institute’s YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCztb58eHRnyv76YnMjqsFRg.
