  • THE IMPACT of the ARMENIAN GENOCIDE on the FORMATION of NATIONAL STATEHOOD and POLITICAL IDENTITY “Today Most Armenians Do
    ASHOT ALEKSANYAN THE IMPACT OF THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE ON THE FORMATION OF NATIONAL STATEHOOD AND POLITICAL IDENTITY Key words – Armenian Genocide, pre-genocide, post-genocide, national statehood, Armenian statehood heritage, political identity, civiliarchic elite, civilization, civic culture, Armenian diaspora, Armenian civiliarchy “Today most Armenians do not live in the Republic of Armenia. Indeed, most Armenians have deep ties to the countries where they live. Like a lot of us, many Armenians find themselves balancing their role in their new country with their historical and cultural roots. How far should they assimilate into their new countries? Does Armenian history and culture have something to offer Armenians as they live their lives now? When do historical and cultural memories create self-imposed limits on individuals?”1 Introduction The relevance of this article is determined, on the one hand, the multidimen- sionality of issues related to understanding the role of statehood and the political and legal system in the development of Armenian civilization, civic culture and identity, on the other hand - the negative impact of the long absence of national system of public administration and the devastating impact of the Armenian Genocide of 1915 on the further development of the Armenian statehood and civiliarchy. Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey was the first ever large-scale crime against humanity and human values. Taking advantage of the beginning of World War I, the Turkish authorities have organized mass murder and deportations of Armenians from their historic homeland. Genocide divided the civiliarchy of the Armenian people in three parts: before the genocide (pre-genocide), during the genocide and after the genocide (post-genocide).

  • 1 UPR-ARMENIA in MIDTERM REVIEW January 2015– March
    UPR-ARMENIA IN MIDTERM REVIEW January 2015– March 2018 Mid-Term Report by a Group of Civil Society Organizations (based on conclusions and/or recommendations of the Report of the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review –A/HRC/29/11, 13 April 2015) Preface Following the second cycle of UPR, a number of long-awaited reforms were announced by the Armenian government. Despite some modest progress, the overall reform process has been delayed due to the government’s lack of commitment, transparency, and determination to consider civil society recommendations. The government has not taken sufficient steps towards implementing the recommendations received during the second UPR review of Armenia. Approval of the National Strategy for Protection of Human Rights and its Action Plan were a positive step forward but the documents were adopted without consideration of the vast majority of civil society recommendations, including UPR recommendations. The government did not perceive the UPR process as an opportunity for structural changes, but rather approached it solely from a technocratic law-changing perspective. As a result, no real and practical changes have been registered with regards to human rights and freedoms. In 2017, stipulated by constitutional amendments, a number of laws regulating the state institutions and the governance system were adopted. These defined the scope of authorities and accountability of each branch of power and regulated separation of powers. The premise of the 2015 constitutional reform was to ensure more accountable and less centralized governance by increasing the role of the National Assembly (parliament), enhancing and clarifying the tools and mechanisms of parliamentary oversight over the executive, regulating the accountability of the state institutions before the parliament.
