The reviewed book represents the collection of documents on aqualification of criminal actions of the Turkish government relating to Armenian people during the period between 1876 and 1923 as a crime of genocide. In addition the book provides for the relevant legal comment. Arguments of Turkey against such a qualification are challenged by the author of a book from the point of view of international law. Elements of a crime of genocide, including the analysis of provisions of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide 1948 are dwelled upon in details. On a practical level the author offers negotiations between the two states or their joint request for an advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice as possible optimal means of settlement of Armenian-Turkish disagreements.
