The main goal behind focusing on such a long period is to find out the differences and sources of change behind the Turkey's behavior and ideas that justified certain set of behavior. This research provides a critical analysis of Turkey's defense procurement behavior since 1923. When I touched that package, this dissertation became a ―matter of fate‖, as C.J. One week later, I found Agos issues folded in a nylon bag in my UCSD mailbox in the Department of Communication. I wrote to him and asked if he could send me a few copies of Agos that had the coverage on Gökçen. I came home and immediately sent emails to a few colleagues inquiring about how I could get in touch with Dink.
I had never heard about Hrant Dink until I saw Hürriyet that day. It was as if I had been looking for something in this world, and I had finally found it one rainy afternoon on Hürriyet ‘s internet page. Was Sabiha Gökçen, Atatürk ‘s adopted daughter, the world‘s first combat war pilot, the only heroine of the Turkish Republic, an Armenian? Agos, Turkish-Armenian community‘s weekly newspaper, had reported so, according to Hürriyet.
This dissertation began the day I saw the headline of the Turkish daily Hürriyet on its front page on 21 February 2004: ―SABIHA GÖKÇEN‘S 80-YEAR-OLD SECRET.‖ I was in the Giesel library of the UC San Diego casually surfing the Turkish news while trying to finish a seminar paper.
