Armenian Genocide as an International Political Phenomenon
Armenian Genocide as an International Political Phenomenon

Summary/Abstract: The dilemma of the so-called Armenian genocide remains a key political topic, which separates Armenia and the Turkish Republic and causes tension in the entire region. Through their European diasporas (especially the Armenian diaspora), the issue also entered the European domain and became even more controversial as Turkey began its hotly contested European Union accession talks. Lately, the Armenian genocide issue has resulted in icy diplomatic relations between France (traditionally the most skeptical state when it comes to Turkish EU membership) and Turkey, as well as between Turkey and a number of other countries that have formally acknowledged the genocide.
