Armenıan relocation and internatıonal law

1915 Ermeni olaylarına ilişkin tartışmalar hukukun konusu değil tarihsel tartışmalardır. Nitekim, konu hakkında herhangi bir tartışma yapılacaksa bu genel sosyal bilimler araştırma metodolojisi içerisinde düşünülmeli ve kapsamda ele alınmalıdır. Bunun sebebi 1948 Soykırım Sözleşmesi’nin geçmişe uygulanabilirliğinin (ex post facto) mümkün olmamasıdır. Ermeni tehciri, birinci olarak zamanaşımı kuralı, ve ikinci olarak tehcir kararının zaruri askeri sebeplerle alınmış olmasından dolayı teamül hukuku çerçevesinde insanlığa karşı suç olarak da görülemez.

Ermeni tehciri ve uluslararası hukuk

Discussions on the Armenian incidents of 1915 relates to history and are not legal subject matters. Thus, any discussion on the matter should be considered and limited in the context of general social sciences research methodology. This is because the 1948 Genocide Convention is not applicable ex post facto. Armenian relocation also does not qualify as crime against humanity under the customary law because of the statute of limitations first, and also, because the relocation decision was taken under imperative military reasons.
