Osman Koker Armenians in Turkey 100 Years Ago May 19, 2011, at the Armenian Museum of America, Watertown, MA Presented by the Armenian Museum of America, the Friends of Hrant Dink, Project SAVE Armenian Photograph Archives, and NAASR In 2005, Osman Koker first came to international attention when he organized the unprecedented exhibition "Sireli Yeghpayrs" (My Dear Brother) in Istanbul. Eventually seen by thousands of people, it presented photographs of Armenian life in pre-genocide Ottoman Turkey, drawn from a large collection of postcards owned by the collector Orlando Calumeno. In the five years since then, the exhibition has also been mounted in Munich, Cologne, Frankfurt. Valence, Paris, Geneva, Yerevan and London. Koker originally intended to write a book about Armenian life in the Ottoman Empire, but with the discovery of the postcard collection the scope of the project changed. Following the exhibition he published the massive and beautifully-produced volume subsequently published in English as Armenians in Turkey 100 Years Ago, featuring hundreds of images showing where and how Armenians in the Ottoman Empire lived.
