In your dissertation, Soundscapes of Trabzon: Music, Memory, and Power in Turkey, what does sound reveal about power, memory, and identity that official histories or state narratives often fail to capture?

Now, that's a very interesting, uh, story, and various researchers have started uncovering the different layers of identities in Anatolia, in Asia Minor based on music.

So let me start from the beginning.

When the modern contemporary Turkish Republic was established in 1923, it was actually a small Ottoman Empire within Anatolia.

The empire, the Ottoman Empire lost all its territories in the Balkans, in the Middle East, Caucasus, et cetera.

So they only maintained a piece of land, the Asia Minor or Anatolia, what today is Turkey.

But within that territory, there were groups liv- uh, groups that were living in that territory who were indigenous and who were not Turkish.

How should Pontic Greeks connect genocide recognition, cultural survival, and Black Sea Hellenism with today's wider debate on Turkey's revisionism and Eastern Mediterranean security?
