This study presents the process of identity reformulation of Armenian community in Turkey through analyzing the Armenian-Turkish newspaper Agos between February 1996 and May 2014. This study explores Armenian identity in social constructivist terms treating Agos as a political text. In this inquiry, first, analytical elements of Armenian identity in Turkey are determined as civic life and political representation, 1915 narratives and collective memory, and religion. Secondly, Agos’s reflection of Armenian identity in Turkey is analyzed in reference to those identity elements. The analysis is divided into four time periods. Key conclusions drawn from the analysis point to the evolution of the Armenian identity toward a more heterogeneous structure. The main conclusion of this study is the active role and importance of the debates structured around Islamized Armenians in the reformulation process of Armenian identity in Turkey as reflected through Agos. The study highlights the need to treat the Armenian identity and community in hybrid terms basing this argument on the role of Islamized Armenians on the Armenian identity’s reformulation process in Turkey.
