Yusuf Halaçoğlu (born 1949) is a Turkish historian and writer whose research concentrates on Ottoman administrative and social history. Facts on the Relocation of Armenians 1914-1918 is the English-language entry for readers who want to examine his account of the Ottoman government's relocation policy during the First World War. The book is narrower than his broader Turkish studies of state organization, tribes, settlements, transport, and communication, so it is best approached as a focused historical argument rather than a survey of his entire scholarship. Its structure follows documents, administrative decisions, and the author's interpretation of cause and consequence. Readers should distinguish between the records presented and the conclusions drawn from them, as the subject remains contested. Within Halaçoğlu's body of work, this volume represents his research on one specific late-Ottoman issue in an English edition.
