This book examines the confiscation of Armenian properties during the genocide and subsequent attempts to retain seized Armenian wealth. Through the close analysis of laws and treaties, it reveals that decrees issued during the genocide constitute central pillars of the Turkish system of property rights, retaining their legal validity, and although Turkey has acceded through international agreements to return Armenian properties, it continues to refuse to do so. The book demonstrates that genocides do not depend on the abolition of the legal system and elimination of rights, but that, on the contrary, the perpetrators of genocide manipulate the legal system to facilitate their plans.War and genocide ;v. 21.ArmeniansTurkeyHistory20th centuryArmeniansLegal status, laws, etcTurkeyHistory20th centuryArmenian questionArmeniansRelocationTurkeyHistory20th centuryForced migrationTurkeyHistory20th centuryPillageTurkeyHistory20th centuryTurkeyHistoryMehmed V, 1909-1918ArmeniansHistoryArmeniansLegal status, laws, etc.HistoryArmenian question.ArmeniansRelocationHistoryForced migrationHistoryPillageHistory956.6/20154NK 4200DE-24/20sredrvkAkçam Taner1953-296985Kurt ÜmitArkun AramMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797894603321The spirit of the laws3782918UNINA
