ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book explains that genocide in any form and at any level presupposes a conflict between perpetrator and victim-group and that the enactment of genocide itself is a lethal undertaking for the purpose of resolving that conflict radically. The task of understanding the Armenian genocide is inextricably interwoven with the task of dissecting the Turko-Armenian conflict in terms of its origin and its evolutionary stages. In an effort to encapsulate the arch determinants of this conflict certain substantive problems relating to theocracy, demography, and the factor of power relations. The Turko-Armenian conflict was an integral part of the syndrome of nationality conflicts. One may argues that the arch determinant in the enactment of genocide is the factor of critically disparate power relations separating the substantially more powerful group from the substantially weak and vulnerable target group.
