The psychology and the fates of the people who have lived in Turkey, in the European countries and the USA, are represented in the newly presented monograph of Armenian science professor at California University, Rubina Piroumian.
The monograph, being entitled "Those Who Remained to Live in Turkey After 1915", addresses the issues of the psychology of the survivors, their lifestyle after the tragedy and the struggle for preserving the national identity.
Ms. Piroumian says that she has been engaged in studies for 25 years and researched the Armenian communities of USA, Europe, Turkey and Russia after the . She says that the community of Istanbul, Turkey, was the most difficult to learn about. The research of the Armenian community of Turkey is focused on the following questions: what happened to the women and the children who were kidnapped during the massacre, what happened to those Armenian families which were forced to adopt Islam, and in what conditions lives the modern Armenian community of Istanbul and what it does to preserve its national identity.
The research showed that only Islamized Armenians in Europe confess their origin and try to preserve some national traditions, and the Islamized Armenians in Turkey are living in fear to reveal their origin.
