The criminal acts of the x-Soviet Armenian Government come directly under the scope of the Convention on Genocide adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on December 8, 1948, containing the following provisions: The Contracting Parties, having considered the declaration made by the General Assembly of the United Nations in its Resolution 95 (1) dated December 11, 1946, that genocide is a crime under international law, contrary to the spirit and aims of the United Nations and condemned by the civilized world; Recognizing that in all periods of history genocide has inflicted great losses on humanity; and Being convinced that, in order to liberate mankind from such odious scourge, international cooperation is required; Members agree as hereinafter provided: Article 1. The Contracting Parties confirm that genocide, whether committed in time of peace or in time of war, is a crime under international law which they undertake to prevent and to punish. Article 2. In the present Convention genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: A) Killing member of the group; B) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; C) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; D) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; E) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group; Article 3. The following acts shall be punishable: a) Genocide b) Conspiracy to commit genocide c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide d) Attempt to commit genocide. Article 4. Persons committing genocide or any of the other acts enumerated in Article 3 shall be punished, whether they are constitutionally responsible rulers, public officials or private individuals. Had the Convention on Genocide existed before the Armenian massacres of the Turks and Kurds, it would probably have been difficult for the x-Soviet Armenian Government and its responsibles to start murdering of civilian, defenseless, faithful Ottoman citizens, children and women, (GENOCIDE AND ATTEMPT TO GENOCIDE), to make plans to exterminate, as they have done also to Urartus and Jews, faithful Ottoman citizens (CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT GENOCIDE), to incite Armenians to armed revolt against the legal authority and to commit Genocide, (DIRECT AND PUBLIC INCITEMENT TO COMMIT GENOCIDE). Serdar Argic 'We closed the roads and mountain passes that might serve as ways of escape for the Turks and then proceeded in the work of extermination.' (Ohanus Appressian - 1919) 'In Soviet Armenia today there no longer exists a single Turkish soul.' (Sahak Melkonian - 1920)
