FP7 - International Workshop "National models of politics of memory with regard to the Russo-Ottoman war and the peace treaties"

Summary/Abstract: The Russo-Ottoman War of 1877/1878 (ROW) played a major role in forming and establishing national narratives both in Southeastern Europe as well as in the Caucasus region in the 19th and 20th centuries. The consequences of the war between the Russian and the Ottoman Empires did not solely influence the end of the 19th century but they still are a central part of the memory culture and politics of memory today. Over the following decades the war and the related peace treaties were interpreted in different and often opposing ways by the nations involved (Turks, Russians, Bulgarians, Macedonians, Greeks, Georgians and Armenians), which lead to contradicting and conflicting images of the ROW of 1877/1878.
