Abstract

This paper focuses and analyzes human rights in order to demonstrate the historical importance of actions triggered by past generations, which serves as a building block in the construction of a more humane and egalitarian society. Its goal is not to cultivate despair, bitterness or desire for revenge but to clarify the dangers that man can bread in his unquenchable quest for power, such as the Armenian genocide, which nearly wiped out a large portion of the populace. This genocide was executed by imposition of the old Ottoman-Turkish army and even though this event is virtually unknown in society, it holds historical significance and importance. Furthermore, its existence and recognition should not tarnish present-day Turkey, but should expose past mistakes as a means to modifying the present.
