THE PERFECT ETHNOCIDE: A REVIEW OF BAS KROMHOUT'S ‘DE PERFECTE GENOCIDE'

1915 olayları ile ilgili bilim adamları arasında birçok bilimsel tartışma vardır. Bu olayların yüzüncü yılı yaklaştığı için 2015 yılında her giden gün daha da çok yayın eklenmeye başlandı. Hollanda’nın genç tarihçisi Bas Kromhout’un yayını da bunlardan biridir. Yazısı tamamıyla Hollandaca olmakla birlikte ‘De Perfecte Genocide: 1,5 miljoen Armeniërs vermoord tot de orde van de dag perfecte’ başlığı taşımaktadır Türkçe’ye ‘Ülkü Soykırım: 1,5 milyon Ermeni öldürüldü, şimdi güncel konulara geçelim’ olarak çevrilir. Bu yazı Hollanda’nın en çok okunan tarih dergisinde yayınlanmıştır. Bu derginin adı ‘Historisch Nieuwsblad’, Türkçesi ‘Tarih Haber Dergisi’ olmakla birlikte Hollandaca’dır. Bas Kromhout’un bu yazısı 2015 yılının Ocak sayısında kapakta yer almıştır. Ocak 2015 tarihinde çıkan sayı, Ermeni meselesi ile ilgili bir özel sayıdır. Bas Kromhout’un yazısı başyazı olarak kapakta yer aldığı gibi, bu özel sayının en göze batan yazısıdır. Doktorasını tamamlayıp Nazi Tarihi’nde uzman olan genç tarihçi Bas Kromhout, bu yazı ile Ermeni Meselesi’ne de açılmak istemiştir. Ermeni meselesi’ne odaklanan bu yazısı, bu konuda olan ilk yazısıdır. Bu yazımda Bas Kromhout’un, bilinçli veya bilinçsiz, ahlak kırımının en güzel örneği olduğunu savunuyorum. Ahlak kırımı, bilimciler arasında tarafsız ve tek taraflı olmayan yayınları engellemeyi öngören bir çizgidir. Bas Kromhout’un yazısını değerlendirmeye başladığımda, bu yazının ancak ahlak kırımı çerçevesinde faydalı olduğu sonuca vardım. Bana göre bu ve buna benzer yazılar, 1915 yılında olan Ermeni olayları ile ilgili tarihsel ve hukuksal tartışma ortamlarını engelleyip olmamış gibi göstermeyi amaçlar.

(MÜKEMMEL ETNOSID: BAS KROMHOUT'UN ‘MÜKEMMEL SOYKIRIM' YAZISININ DEĞERLENDIRMESI)

Abstract: There are a lot of claims surrounding the events of 1915 amongst academics. With the bicentennial of the events in 2015, it is accompanied by even more publications. The publication of Bas Kromhout is one of them. His article is entitled ‘De perfecte genocide: 1,5 miljoen Armeniërs vermoord, over tot de orde van de dag’ and is entirely in Dutch. It can be translated to English as ‘The Perfect Genocide: 1,5 million Armenians killed, but on to today’s news’. The article was published in the most read historical magazine in the Netherlands, which is called ‘Historisch Nieuwsblad’ in Dutch. This can be translated to ‘Historical Newspaper’ in English. It was featured on the front page of the magazine which had a special issue on the Armenian events of 1915 in January of 2015. Bas Kromhout’s article was the so-called prime article of the magazine in the issue of January of 2015. Although Bas Kromhout is a young historian with a Ph.D. in Nazi-history, he now tried to change his field to the Armenian events of 1915 and wrote his first article about it. In my article, I will argue that Kromhout (willingly or unwillingly) is actually a great example of Ethnocide, which is a certain method within academic or scholarly debates to pollute objective and neutral discussions between scholars. Although I started out to review Kromhout’s article, I was strongly convinced that Kromhout’s article is suited to see in the light of Ethnocide and disturbing the scholarly methods surrounding the historical and juridical debate about the Armenian events of 1915.
