The aim is to collate the most important opinions and results of this scientific inquiry and present them in a systematic overview. From the reworking of some special historical questions such as the Armenian Holocaust, its aftermath and (lack of) recognition, it becomes clear that the Armenian case – despite existing parallels with other genocidal models from a historical and juridical point of view – is to be viewed as unique. This understanding also offers interesting input for current discussions on Human Rights, especially as far as the policy of ‘peaceful coexistence’ is concerned.
