{"product_id":"the-spirit-of-the-laws-taner-akam-9781785337550","title":"The Spirit of the Laws: The Plunder of Wealth in the Armenian Genocide","description":"\u003cp\u003e Pertinent to contemporary demands for reparations from Turkey is the relationship between law and property in connection with the Armenian Genocide. This book examines the confiscation of Armenian properties during the genocide and subsequent attempts to retain seized Armenian wealth. Through the close analysis of laws and treaties, it reveals that decrees issued during the genocide constitute central pillars of the Turkish system of property rights, retaining their legal validity, and although Turkey has acceded through international agreements to return Armenian properties, it continues to refuse to do so. The book demonstrates that genocides do not depend on the abolition of the legal system and elimination of rights, but that, on the contrary, the perpetrators of genocide manipulate the legal system to facilitate their plans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Taner Ak軋m, Umit Kurt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1785337556\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781785337550\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.46d","brand":"Taner Ak軋m","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991129817343,"sku":"9781785337550","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b262f522-a0e5-4d9f-b0a2-0fbe5a5dc752.jpg?v=1683308604","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-spirit-of-the-laws-taner-akam-9781785337550","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
