Confronted with the prospect of the expansion of the European Union to include Turkey and the occultation of the moral and material obligations related to the genocide perpetrated against the Armenians in Turkey, the adherents to this declaration, who were present at the meeting organized by the Land and Culture Organization-France on November 25, 2004, have established a body to be known as Collective 2015: Reparations. The chief advocacy of this Collective is that the Armenian Question must be considered in its totality, taking into account the following points:
1. The victims and survivors of the genocide had a homeland; they were extirpated from it.
2. The Turkish State owes the Armenians reparations. These reparations, to be determined by suffered losses, must include notably:
- The value of human lives lost, - The deprivation of civil and moral rights, - The psychological suffering to the survivors of the genocide and their descendants, - The restitution of confiscated National properties and the rehabilitation of cultural monuments, - Compensation for spoliated private goods, in particular, land and buildings, - Restitution of bank savings and investments. With this in mind Collective 2015: Reparations:
1. Has decided to publish a White Book as a legal and political tool to enable Armenians to express their claims. A committee of experts will be responsible for its preparation and will sollicit competent organizations and institutions of the Armenian Diaspora and the Republic of Armenia for their collaboration.
2. Consideres it indispensable to create an ad hoc representative structure, which will have the ability to formulate all requests for reparations, and to utilize all indemnizations for the reparation of the losses and damages incurred.
3. Appeals to all authoritative European institutions to consider the ineluctable nature the reparations due the Armenians.
4. Appeals to the conscience of Turkish people to reexamine history to recognize the place the Armenians once had at their side, in a kind of fraternity that is still possible.
