Description
Résumé:A Christian minority in the Middle East, the Syriacs of Turkey are currently leading an active political action regarding their right to be acknowledged as part of the new political deal marked by a process of democratization in the country. This movement of emancipation is being highly encouraged by the diaspora activism as well as by non-governmental organizations composed of influential members of the Turkish intelligentsia and of foreign Human Right activists working intensely on the bettering of the socio-political conditions of the local minorities. A historical perspective will enable us to reconsider the dynamic nature of the identity politics adopted by the community members and to see them as active agents of the Turkish society in search for their socio-political visibility.
