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.
