participated ( Link ->

World Forum on Human Rights ( Link ->

December in Brasilia, capital of Brazil.
Ms. Carolina Karagueuzian, director of CNA Buenos Aires and Attorney
Guillermo Ferraioli Karamanian made a presentation entitled “Armenian
Genocide: a comparative study of genocidal processes of the twentieth
century” where they discussed the Armenian Genocide from a social and
historical perspective. The issue of reparations was one of the
central themes of the dissertation.
“Turkey must return territories to Armenia, according to the terms
issued by the President of the United States Woodrow Wilson on
November 22, 1920” said Ferraioli Karamanian, referring to the Treaty
of Sèvres and the Wilsonian Armenia.
“The half million victims of genocide were a permanent material damage
against the Armenian people. This damage has not yet been offset by
fair reparation. Such repair must address both the lives lost and the
appropriation of property by the State and the members of the Turkish
elite”, said Karagueuzian.
In the closing ceremony, Deputy Minister of Human Rights of Brazil
Patricia Barcelos announced that Argentina will host the FMDH in 2015.
The FMDH aims to promote an environment for public debate about human
rights, focusing on the respect to differences, on social
participation, on inequalities reduction and on the confrontation of
all human rights’ violations. According to a
press release ( Link ->
