Abstract

Conflict between the Turks and the Armenians was not inevitable. The
two peoples should have been friends. When World War I began, the
Armenians and Turks had been living together for 800 years. The
Armenians of Anatolia and Europe had been Ottoman subjects for nearly
400 years. There were problems during those centuries-problems caused
especially by those who attacked and ultimately destroyed the Ottoman
Empire. Everyone in the Empire suffered, but it was the Turks and other
Muslims who suffered most. Judged by all econnmic and social standards,
the Armenians did well under Ottoman rule. By the late nineteenth century,
in every Ottoman province the Armenians were better educated and richer
than the Muslims. Armenians worked hard, it is true, but their comp;rrative
riches were largely due to European and American influence and Ottoman
tolerance. European merchants made Ottoman Christians their agents.
European merchants gave them their business. European consuls intervened
in their behalf. The Armenians benefited from the education given to them,
and not to the Turks, by American missionaries.

A LEGAL ANALYSIS OF THE POST-OPINION 1/94 VERTICAL DELIMITATION OF COMPETENCES IN EXTERNAL TRADE

Abstract

The present paper analyses the post-Opinion vertical delimitation of
competences in external trtule. Following rhe insinuation given in OplJtion
1/94, the Member States, as the masters of the Treaty, have amended the
delimitation of cmnpetences under the comnum commercial policy to enable
the Community to effectively adapt to the dew:lopmenf!i of international
trade law especially in respect tif the WTO Agreement. Whether they have
been successful in their attempts will be examined. En that regard, under the
AmJterdam and Nice Treaty, and in order to get a pro:,pect about the
possible fu:ture of delimitatioll of competeru:es in external trade, under the
Constitutional Treaty, the delimitation issue is scrutinised in terms of the
ratione materiae scope of rhe common commercial policy. the substantive
and procedural rules within the ambit of the common commercial policy
and the possible 4fects of these configurations.
