Those texts appeared as a result of a long time silence by including traumatized memories, self-judgement and the way going to confrontation. Secondly, David Yeşilmen argues that Kurdish writers narrated the Catastrophe in their texts by approaching 1915 via today‘s perception (Yeşilmen, 2014). Thirdly, the
reconstruction of collective memory in those texts (Çelik & Öpengin, 2016: 2) became the result of that perception. That is why, the main intention of those texts and their problematic will give the frame of this thesis. In other words, rather than deconstructing the type of characters, the role of memory and deep analysis of content of the stories, my attempt is to examine the functional side of the texts through the keywords justice, responsibility, confrontation, peace and consensus.
