YEREVAN, JUNE 1, ARMENPRESS: Workshop, entitled 'The Genocide
in the Ottoman Empire in 1915: Live History, Legal Issues, Law of
Prescription, Reliability', was conducted May 31 in Stockholm. It was
organized by the Swedish Branch of International Law Association. An
official from the press and information department of RA Foreign
Affairs Ministry told Armenpress that that workshop was chaired by Ove
Bring, expert of international law and president of the International
Law Association of Sweden.
Professor of International Law at the University of Dundee Kaj Hober,
RA Ambassador to Sweden Ara Ayvazyan, Vahagn Avetikyan, historian
and editor-in-chief of the 'Armenica.org' website, as well as 50
others- among them representatives of the Swedish foreign ministry,
ILA (Swedish branch), Armenian, Turkish and Assyrian comunities and
scientists- took part in the workshop and made reports.
RA Ambassador to Sweden Ara Ayvazyan represented the history
of the Genocide, touched upon the process of regulation of the
Armenian-Turkish relations, Zurich protocols and the reasons of the
suspension of the ratification process. Professor Kaj Hober briefed
on his studies of the Law of Prescription and said that the issue of
the Genocide can be heard at the International Criminal Court.
Vahagn Avetikyan's report was dedicated to the identity and
responsibility of states. He says there is a reasonable base to
lead the Turkish policy of denial to the liberal responsibility,
which implies official recognition of the Genocide by Turkey.
