This paper examines the ways in which Turkey’s religious minorities cope with mass displacement, with a specific focus on the restoration and management of immovable religious heritage. The waves of voluntary and involuntary exodus of religious minority groups in late Ottoman and early republican periods left a vast number of Turkey’s sacred heritage sites without their constituencies. While the mass murder and deportation of Armenians in 1915 and the population exchange between Turkey and Greece in 1924 resulted in dechristianization of Anatolia, the pogroms of 1934 in Thrace triggered a mass movement of the Jewish community from the region. As a result of these displacement processes, a large number of churches and synagogues were left without their congregations. In this paper, I will focus on three examples illustrating different restoration models for minority heritage sites, and their consequences vis-à-vis the state, local communities, and their displaced constituencies. The Armenian Church of Surp Giragos in Diyarbakir was restored in 2011 through the efforts of its former Armenian congregation, who now lives in Istanbul and abroad, and with the help of the Diyarbakir metropolitan and Sur subprovincial municipalities. The Greek-Orthodox Church of Aya Vukola in Izmir was restored by the Izmir Metropolitan Municipality. The Grand Synagogue of Edirne was restored by the General Directorate of Pious Foundations. These three case studies illustrate different restoration models, each with varying levels of involvement by the displaced congregations of these religious heritage sites as well as by various local and state actors. Through these examples, I discuss the best practices and shortcomings in restoration processes of displaced minority heritage sites. The Turkish case also presents an opportunity to reflect on the contributions and shortcomings of national and international heritage regimes and suggestions for involving displaced communities in decision making and implementation.
