include studies carried out with some prominent Armenian researchers of the subject as well as historians 
across the world.  Hilmar Kaiser's work has been produced in at least four Western languages 
(English, German, French, and Italian), making it easily available to the researchers and general 
public across the world.  

Some of the past and current topics of Mr. Kaiser's research include: 
'Imperialism, Racism, and Development Theories. 
The Construction of a Dominant Paradigm on Ottoman Armenians' (published by Gomidas Institute); 

'The Baghdad Railway and the Armenian Genocide, 1915-1916. A Case Study in German Resistance and Complicity, in, 
Remembrance and Denial. The Case of the Armenian Genocide' (edited by Professor Richard Hovannisian); 

'Armenian Property, Ottoman Law and Nationality Policies During the Armenian Genocide, 1915-1916;'
