Армянские юристы обсудили тему геноцида. Генеральный прокурор Армении заявил, что "Армения должна получить обратно утраченные территории".

Генеральный прокурор Армении Агван Овсепян в пятницу на Втором всеармянском форуме юристов в Ереване призвал юристов подготовить "безукоризненные правовые обоснования для ликвидации последствий Геноцида армян".

"Говоря о международном признании и осуждении Геноцида, основную ответственность мы возлагаем на Турцию. Турция, говоря правовым языком, является исполнителем преступления. И это так. Но мы, юристы, хорошо знаем, что помимо исполнителей, есть организаторы, соучастники, подстрекатели," - заявил Овсепян. По его словам, юристам многое предстоит сделать для ликвидации последствий Геноцида армян.

"Кто может стать ими? Наследники жертв? Армянская Апостольская Церковь? Республика Армения? Или все вместе? По моему глубокому убеждению, наследники жертв Геноцида должны получить материальную компенсацию, Армянской Апостольской Церкви должны быть возвращены уцелевшие церкви и церковные земли на территории Турции, Республика Армения – получить утраченные территории и т д. Но все эти требований должны иметь безукоризненные правовые обоснования." - аявил Генеральный прокурор Армении.

На конференции также выступил президент Армении Серж Саргсян. В своем выступлении Саргсян сказал, что "Международное признание Геноцида армян, его осуждение и устранение последствий всегда будут актуальны. Пока существует армянское государство, любая попытка замалчивать эту историческую реальность будет обречена на неудачу. Это величайшее преступление против человечности должно быть раз  и навсегда признано и осуждено. В первую очередь – самой Турцией."

Более 100 известных юристов из Армении, Нагорного Карабаха и армянских диаспор приняли участие во Втором всеармянском форуме юристов.

Dozens participate in new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue process as societies prepare for the signing of historic peace agreement

The governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan have recently agreed the text of a historic peace agreement that ends years of animosity and warfare. The agreement is expected to be signed soon. LINKS Europe, which has a long history of engagement with the process of peace in the region, recently launched a new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue format in the framework of the European Union's EU4Peace initiative. In the last two weeks dozens of Armenians and Azerbaijanis, including academics, students, civil society activists, journalists and other professionals, many of them young, were involved. The work is organised in five thematic groups focusing on peace and security, connectivity, environment, governance and gender and equality and in phase 2 of the project, which has just ended, around fifty participants took part in in-person and online meetings, and more than twenty others were involved indirectly. The Chairpersons of the five thematic groups met in Vilnius, 3-6 July to launch the third phase of the program. The five thematic groups are now working on separate reports, which are expected to be finished in November and presented to the two governments and other stakeholders. The reports will outline a vision, up to 2040.
