during the WWI period" at the University.

Genocide issue and the impact the mass violations have on the Armenian

humanity and condemned other comments. Genocide is an intention of
annihilating a person, he described.

crisis, but as a dynamic, symbolic act, which allows to observe
the consequences of the terrible phenomenon from social and public
viewpoints.
