This contribution is aimed at assessing the right to truth and the right to memory of the Armenian people and of Armenians as individuals, drawing from a legal framework first developed in regional and local contexts and further elaborated at the level of the United Nations. It provides an in-depth picture of the widespread practice concerning the recognition of the massacre of the Armenians in the International Community, which includes various statements and actions by national and international institutions. It also examines the position of Turkey on the matter. As a conclusion, it puts forward some proposals de jure condendo with a view to contribute towards identifying the appropriate instruments to bring Turks and Armenians from conflict to dialogue. This would lead to the achievement of a shared memory based on a reconstruction of the events accepted by both sides, while being respectful of the historical truth. |
