Panel at George Mason Discusses Reparations, Conciliation

On May 15, a timely and fascinating panel discussion took place at George Mason University’s Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution in Arlington, Va. The topic of the panel was the viability and feasibility of Armenian Genocide reparations. Participating in the panel were Ara Papian, the former Armenian ambassador to Canada and an expert on treaty history and law, Jermaine McCalpin, a specialist in long-term justice and transitional justice, and Henry Theriault, a frequent contributor to the Armenian Weekly and specialist in the ethics of reparations for crimes against humanity. Serving as moderator was Dikran Kaligian, author of Armenian Organization and Ideology under Ottoman Rule, 1908-1914.




Megha Asdvadzim….there was actually a conference on reparation in Ankara? Wow…we are entering rarefied air indeed!
Is the said report available online? Many of us outside the US would want to be kept informed about the deliberations regarding reparations and the foundations upon which the restoration campaign will be built. Can anyone of the involved comment if the Panel (academic) initiative at some point is to lead to political initiative?
