State Identity, Continuity, and Responsibility: The Ottoman Empire, the Republic of Turkey and the Armenian Genocide
Avedian, Vahagn · 2012
Examines whether the Republic of Turkey bears legal responsibility for the Armenian Genocide committed by its Ottoman predecessor. Applying the doctrine that state identity and continuity survive changes of government, argues the Kemalist republic is the continuation of the Ottoman state and is responsible for internationally wrongful acts against Armenians. A cornerstone for legal arguments on recognition and reparations, in one of the world's top international law journals.
