“…In Turkey, Armenians are compelled to navigate an exclusionary landscape in their everyday lives where their communal identity is predominantly relegated to the private sphere (Kasbarian, 2016, p.224). In a country where they are often made to feel like foreigners, home becomes a protected domain.…”

Examinations of migrants' experiences have traditionally been confined to host country experiences. More recent studies consider the homeland-hostland relationship as a dynamic one, while also paying attention to the impact of events that happen outside these two landscapes. This article seeks to build on these latter works by considering the homeland-hostland connection from a different angle and argues that, when it happens, the post-migration discovery of homeland communal and personal histories results in salient personal transformations. Moreover, these hostland experiences are largely facilitated by encounters with the larger ethnic community. The examination draws upon data collected on Armenian migrants from Turkey to Canada. RésuméLes examens des expériences des migrants se sont traditionnellement limités aux expériences du pays d'accueil.Des études plus récentes considèrent la relation entre le pays d'origine et le pays d'accueil comme une relation dynamique, tout en prêtant attention à l'impact des événements qui se produisent en dehors de ces deux paysages. Cet article cherche à s'appuyer sur ces derniers travaux en considérant le lien entre le pays d'origine et

“…There needed to be a rethinking of the basic concepts of nationality and ownership, citizenship, and rights, whether related to the state, authority, or religion. She viewed the negotiation and outreach as indispensable to be Armenians in Istanbul, having to fight to get a place and live side by side within Turkey (Kasbarian, 2016). Gunn, et al (2015) and Osipian (2013) said that in various societies, specific segments or layers of the distant past considered as pillars or origins of the social order.…”

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this study demonstrated how Armenian Massacres as crime fiction developed in response to finding their identity by tracing the ethnic criminal or heritage against their descendants. Besides, by looking at this genocide against the Armenian racial, I found it increasingly difficult to ignore the link between self-identity and the race criminalization conducted by the authority Methodology: In this study, the writer implemented New Historicism theory by looking at the historical background, and combined with Horney Psychoanalysis of Personality, through the activities conducted by the characters. Then, through analyzing the plot and the whole story, the writer found that self-awareness of those characters could be seen in different forms and cultures. Based on those theories that people who know themselves will know what they think, feel, and believe; they will be able to take responsibility for themselves and be able to determine their values by reflecting their personality Main Findings: Self-identity and Armenian descendants could be portrayed significantly, and they were very appropriate with the identity of the characters shown in the texts. Here, the writer also found that a novelist like Tom Frist (2015) used the backdrop of massacres to write about the inner lives of Turkish criminals. He focused directly on the narrative dilemmas posed by American Armenian. His work attempted to uncouple race from crime, and this writer showed us how massacres fiction became a necessary identity form for American Armenian who lived as migration and diaspora. Applications of this study: So, the study of Armenian descendants was not only useful for a literary critic but also presented the history and ethnic cleansing in Turkey. And through this analysis, we learned more about the bitter experiences faced by deportees as shown in the setting places and the author’s perspective. Novelty/Originality of this study: Finally, I believed that tracing the Armenian descendants and self-identity was fascinating by identifying the characters shown in the novel.

The centenary year of the Armenian genocide witnessed an escalation in cultural production and both political and academic focus. This paper looks at some of the sites and spaces, physical and discursive, in which the centenary was marked. In particular, it seeks to assess how the centenary has challenged and possibly altered the context within which we approach the genocide and its continuing legacies. The paper is positioned in the diasporic space-while recognizing that this is fluid and embodies transnational sites between "homelands" in the fonn of Armenia and Turkey, and "host states" where diaspora communities have resided (at least) since the genocide, in effect their homes. This paper attempts to pick out some of the themes apparent in the discourse and in the activities during 2015, from the perspective of Armenian diasporan actors, and is based on the author's observations and participation in centenary events in the USA, Lebanon, Turkey, Switzerland, and the UK, as well as interviews with participants and organizers.
