The article presents an overview of the EU-Africa Summit scheduled to be held in Lisbon at the end of 2007. The summit will coincide with Portugal's ascension to the rotating presidency of the EU. Major issues expected to be addressed at the summit include the ongoing political, economic, & social problems in Zimbabwe. Three risks pertaining to the summit are discussed. The first risk is that the summit will be seen as an example of Eurocentric egotism. The second risk is that the summit will concern itself with superficial issues, rather than with serious matters such as the genocide in Darfur. The final risk is that expectations will be so high for the summit that meeting them will be impossible, thus leading to disappointment in both Europe & Africa. R. Young

"These are the memories of Levon Yotnakhparian as he joins the Ottoman military and finds himself in the middle of a genocide against his people. This is his story of escape through the desert and subsequent return on a quest to save thousands of other stranded and orphaned Armenians."

A 2013 speech by the Prosecutor General of Armenia Aghvan Hovsepyan "The task of Armenian lawyers is also the disclosure of organizers, instigators and accomplices of Armenian genocide" with national and international responses to it in the mass media

The political relations between Turkey and Armenia are unavoidably linked to the dispute on whether the massacre of the Armenian community by the Turkish authorities in 1915, still under the Ottoman empire, should be defined as a genocide. However, there has been some recent progress in the attempt to normalize the political relations between the two countries. Based on Hannah Arendt's theory about forgiveness and politics, it is this paper's aim to analyze one of those progresses, namely the Zurich protocols. We argue that, in spite of some positive factors, the decision to include in the protocols an historical evaluation of the 1915 events condemns them to failure, since, according to Arendt's theory, any result of this investigation could harm the reconciliation procedure.
