Lecture "Discrimination, forced denaturalization, deportations and genocide" - EN
The 100th anniversary of the Lausanne Treaties of 1923 and the subsequent founding of the Republic of Turkey, as well as current events in the Middle East, provide an opportunity to reflect on fundamental principles. Does the ethnic, religious and cultural unity of a state really offer security and stability? What are the consequences of segregation, i.e. the so-called segregation of previously multi-ethnic societies? What methods have been and are being used? As we must realise, this is not a purely historical issue. What was illegal under international law back then is still illegal today. This lecture provides an overview of the most serious violations of international, minority and human rights law in the wake of the Lausanne Treaty of 1923.

Vortrag „Diskriminierung, Zwangsausbürgerung, Deportationen und Völkermord“ - DE
Die 100. Jährung der Lausanner Verträge von 1923 und die anschließende Gründung der Republik Türkei, ebenso aber auch die aktuellen Ereignisse im Nahen Osten bieten Anlass, über elementare Grundsätze nachzudenken. Bietet ethnische, religiöse und kulturelle Einheit eines Staates wirklich Sicherheit und Stabilität? Welche Folgen besitzen Segregation, also so genannte Entmischung bisher multiethnischer Gesellschaft? Welche Methoden wurden und werden dabei angewendet? Wie wir feststellen müssen, handelt es sich nicht um ein rein historisches Thema. Was damals schon völkerrechtswidrig war, ist es auch heute noch.
Dieser Vortrag vermittelt einen Überblick über die schwersten Verletzungen des Völker-, Minderheiten- und Menschenrechts im Gefolge des Lausanner Vertrags von 1923.

Why are we as both indigenous and a Christian population treated differently from others within the region?

Syriacs are by no means enemies of Turkey. But we do want recognition
Interview with the Dutch newspaper deKanttekening
Syriacs, a Christian minority in Turkey, are a disadvantaged group in that country. Rights that are formally there for minorities do not apply to them. A major cause is the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne, argues Mesut be Malke. The German Syriac is active for the European Syriac Union. That treaty must go, he believes.
