Legal case
In 2009 Ararat Center for Strategic Research filed a suit against Caucasus Institute on accusation of Armenian Genocide denial in one of their publications called "Caucasus neighbourhood: Turkey and South Caucasus"․[3] Among other articles there was an article of Turkish Aybars Görgülü called "Turkey-Armenia relations: an eternal deadlock?" in which the author used the term Genocide in quotation marks.[4] The General Jurisdiction court of Kentron and Nork Marash district dismissed the case against Caucasus Institute.[5]
