I wish to do a research paper on Elif Shafak's The Bastard of Istanbul which is based on Intercultural relations between the Armeninans and the Turks. Please suggest.
Such research could be risky. The official opinion of Turkish authorities and political leaders is: there wasn't any problem with the Armenians.
I do not intend to probe the problem part. I wish to know about the relationship that existed in the past or exists in the present.
You are onto a good thing here and though I appreciate Hein’s concerns and I observe your focus is outside his concerns, even then, I do not think the government has the last word on the nature or state of intercultural relations between the Armenians and the Turks. The literature, if available, would interest me.
