| Popis: | The article aims at examining the tribal features of Turkishness in the novels of Hakob Oshakan, a Western Armenian writer who survived the Genocide. In our deep conviction,the highest achievement of Oshakan's artistic system, together with it being a novel, cultural studies, ethics, psychoanalysis and ideology, is the novel of the Armenian Cause and the Armenian Genocide. as a collective concentration of national characteristics and a precursor to the Armenian Genocide,Turkishness is brought into action in all of Oshakan's works with multi-level manifestations. The research is carried out to reveal two main issues: the psychology and senses of actions of the Turkish tribal type and the mentality of Turks. The analysis of Turkish tribal biological psychology leads Oshakanto the general idea that Turks are thirsty for blood and violence, and that Turkishness is a terminal cancer spread over the lives of the Armenian people. According to Oshakan, the psychology of extermination and occupation reaches the level of national doctrine in Turkey. The Turks took over the Armenian and Byzantine historical lands through genocide, forcibly Turkified the Christian civilization, and forced the Christian masses to convert. As an unbreakable bigotry the tribal archetype of Turks is passed down from generation to generation, and the chronology of time documents the sad reality that Turks will never change. References: 1.
