Çok önemli yazı: bianet.org/yazi/1915-lg... "Ermeni Soykırımı ile queer tarihyazımını buluşturacak yeni bir araştırma hattı, yalnızca eksik sayfalara dipnot eklemekle kalmamalı; beden, arşiv ve hafıza arasındaki gerilim hattını disiplinler-ötesi yöntemlerle yeniden kurgulamalıdır."
bianet.org
1915, LGBTİ+'lar ve arşivler
Ermeni Soykırımı sürecinde queerlerin tarihsel iz bırakmaması, yalnızca arşivsel sessizlikten değil, aynı zamanda bu bireylerin kamusal ve kurumsal düzeyde tanınmamasından da kaynaklanmaktadır.

A Harvard study of IDF data finds that there are 377,000 people unaccounted for in Gaza. That estimate is six times the number of people normally cited as killed. Genocide. medium.com/@m4xim1l1an/...
Gaza Strip was approximately 2.227 million. The Garb report includes maps displaying IDF estimates for the populations remaining in what are considered the three primary enclaves.
The numbers are as follows:
Gaza City: 1 million
Mawasi: 0.5 million
Central: 0.35 million
The total of these official estimates is 1.85 million people.
Simple arithmetic reveals a horrifying gap: 2.227 million minus 1.85 million leaves 377,000 people unaccounted for.
