Vahakn Norair Dadrian ( Armenian Վահագն Տատրեան , born May 26, 1926 in Istanbul ; † August 2, 2019 ) was an Armenian sociologist who mainly dealt with the genocide of the Armenians .

Life and reception

Vahakn Dadrian was in Turkey born into a family that during the genocide had lost many members of the Armenians. He studied mathematics in Berlin , history at the University of Vienna and international law at the University of Zurich, and received his doctorate in sociology from the University of Chicago .

From 1970 until his release in 1991 for sexual harassment , he taught as a professor of sociology at the College of the State University of New York at Geneseo. He was the director of the US- Canadian research institute Zoryan .

His main field of work is the genocide of the Armenians in the Ottoman Empire from 1915.

Dadrian received a lot of positive approval, but also received criticism. The scientist Peter Balakian called Dadrian the "leading scientist of the genocide of the Armenians". Historian Malcolm E. Yapp criticized Dadrian's approach “not of a historian trying to find out what happened and why it happened, but that of a lawyer preparing his case for prosecution in a hostile system”. The German genocide researcher Hilmar Kaiser criticized Dadrian's “selective use of sources” and warned “serious scientists” against “taking all of Dadrian's statements literally”.
