July 24th is the 93rd anniversary of the Peace  Treaty of Lausanne (in this text, the “Lausanne Peace Treaty” will be  referred to as the “Lausanne Treaty”). The Lausanne Treaty is an  important international contract that was negotiated, signed, and  ratified by almost all important participants of the First World War. It  is not only a crucial treaty due to the identity of the participating  countries, but it is also crucial due to the scope of subject areas it  covers. It is a treaty that covers political, military, economic, and  humanitarian issues that appertains to the Ottoman Empire and Eastern  Front of the First World War. It  would not be farfetched to argue that it does not only effect the  signatory countries, but has wide ranging ramifications for third  countries. Any demands for revision, alteration, or termination of such a  treaty must be met with utmost skepticism. This is especially valid for  demands that are not based on any principle and rules mentioned in the  treaty itself or that are contrary to the general principles of  international law. Thus, any subjectively motivated claims regarding  this treaty, including those of the Republic of Armenia and the Armenian  diaspora rooted in the events of 1915 must be reviewed and evaluated on  the basis of the above mentioned context.
