Battaglioni di lavoro (Impero ottomano)

Uomini dei battaglioni del lavoro

I Battaglioni di lavoro ottomani (in turco Amele Taburları, in armeno Աշխատանքային բատալիոն?, in greco: Τάγματα Εργασίας, Tagmata Ergasias, ma più spesso si usa il nome turco traslitterato αμελέ ταμπουρού) era una forma di lavoro non libero nel tardo Impero ottomano. Il termine è associato al disarmo e all'assassinio dei soldati armeni ottomani durante la prima guerra mondiale,[1][2] dei greci ottomani durante il genocidio greco nell'impero ottomano[3] e anche durante la guerra d'indipendenza turca.[4][5][6]

    «Many of the Greek deportations involved chiefly women and children as, by early 1915, most army-age Greek men had been mobilized in Ottoman labor battalions or had fled their homes to avoid conscription.»

    «Early 1921 saw continued pressure for mass conscription of able-bodied Greeks. They were destined for labor battalions, which, 'in reality,' a missionary wrote, meant they would 'starve or freeze to death.'»

    «The Pontic Greeks suffered similar gendered genocide (gendercidal) policy outcomes. The brutal amele taburları were organized and Pontian men were sent there to be slave labourers for the Ottoman Army. In this sense, the YT (Young Turks) and later Kemalist regimes solved two problems at once: they were able to move military materiel and were able to do so by killing Pontian men by indirect means (working them to death) which eliminated a significant portion of the population able to resist genocide.»
