Το ψήφισμα υιοθετήθηκε τις τελευταίες ημέρες του Νοεμβρίου 2007 από περίπου το 83% των μελών της Ένωσης, που είναι καθηγητές πανεπιστημίου και ερευνητές γενοκτονιών. Ανακοινώθηκε επίσημα από την Ένωση στις 15 Δεκεμβρίου 2007.
FULL TEXT OF THE IAGS RESOLUTION:
WHEREAS the denial of genocide is widely recognized as the final stage
of genocide, enshrining impunity for the perpetrators of genocide, and
demonstrably paving the way for future genocides;
WHEREAS the Ottoman genocide against minority populations during and
following the First World War is usually depicted as a genocide against
Armenians alone, with little recognition of the qualitatively similar
genocides against other Christian minorities of the Ottoman Empire;
BE IT RESOLVED that it is the conviction of the International
Association of Genocide Scholars that the Ottoman campaign against
Christian minorities of the Empire between 1914 and 1923 constituted a
Genocide against Armenians, Assyrians, and Pontian and Anatolian Greeks.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Association calls upon the government
of Turkey to acknowledge the genocides against these populations, to
issue a formal apology, and to take prompt and meaningful steps toward restitution.
