Abstract

Armenia is a fairly new nation-state in which the process ofcreating a new identity is also a newly started process. Within this processof creating a new identity, there are various tools to be used. One of thesetools is the process of ‘otherization’, in other words, the process by which‘the other’ is created. When creating an image of yourself, as being therighteous one, you also depict one or more peoples as “the other”. Insome cases, this even cultivates into the creation of “the other” as thearchenemy or anti-Christ himself. In the case of Armenia, this is exemplaryin how Armenia views itself and its people in respect to Turkey and Turks.This case study focuses on how the Turk are viewed upon in Armenia andwhat this means for the sentiments towards Turks amongst Armenians inArmenia. This article also sheds light on how these sentiments came intoexistence, the historical context it is derived from, and how it is to be seenin the perspective of various theories of nationalism, nation-building, andthe process of creating a national identity. Lastly, this article will also dealwith what this means for an eventual Turkish-Armenian reconciliation inspecific, and the Turkish-Armenian relations in general
