This book explores historical, political and socio-cultural existence of the Armenian and Jewish communities in the capital city of Turkey, Ankara.

Offering rich details of oral history narratives, the book will be of interest to those who grapple with issues of identity, belonging and memory as well as to sociologists, anthropologists and local historians.
