Volochová, Lucia ; Volenec, Otakar (advisor) ; Kochan, Jan (referee)
This thesis deals with two factors that worsened the relations between Turkey and Armenia. The aim of this work is their analysis. The first serious factor is the events from the times of WWI committed by the Ottoman Empire on the Armenian population, known as the Armenian genocide, which Turkey denies almost one hundred years. Armenians demand an official recognition of genocide from Turkey. The second issue is the border between Turkey and Armenia which was closed in response to the Armenian aggression on the territory of Azerbaijan conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh. Although the war ended, no peace treaty has been ratified ever since. Despite the fact that there has been some development based on an effort to improve relations of the mentioned countries, their relations are still at the freezing point and there is no indication of obvious changes for the better.

The development in Rwanda after genocide in 1994
Švehlová, Eva ; Havlová, Radka (advisor) ; Kochan, Jan (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the post-conflict development in Rwanda and its main aim is to evaluate the tools adopted after the genocide in 1994 for the purpose of preventing recurrence of any similar conflict in the future. The thesis mostly concentrates on the process of justice (on the international, national and local level) and on the process of reconciliation of the polarized society in Rwanda as two key components of the post-conflict reconstruction. On the basis of the results derived from the detailed analysis of the tools from security, social, economic and political area, the thesis answers the asked question if the future conflict in Rwanda is nowadays hardly probable (thanks to effective and successful activity of the adopted measures) or if there is, on the contrary, some ethnic tension in Rwanda which could become the reason for repeating of any wave of violence in short- or medium-term.

The impact of Turkish-Armenian relations on the resolution of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
Kotásková, Tereza ; Cibulková, Petra (advisor) ; Havlová, Radka (referee)
The unsolved conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh and problematic Turkish-Armenian relations are the main sources of instability in South Caucasus. For historic and ethnic reasons, both Azerbaijan and Armenia claim the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. Turkey closed its border with Armenia as an expression of solidarity with Azerbaijan during the Nagorno-Karabakh war in the early nineties. Azerbaijan was military defeated and Armenia took control over one fifth of the Azerbaijani territory. Signing two protocols on the normalization of relations between Turkey and Armenia in 2009 raised hopes that this could have a positive impact also on the resolution of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. If the protocols were ratified, this assumption would be probably fulfilled. However, the protocols have not been ratified so far. Considering other factors, any significant progress in any of these issues cannot be expected in the near future.

Ivanov, Vladimir ; Cibulková, Petra (advisor) ; Havlová, Radka (referee)
The thesis in question aims at introducing and analyzing chosen structural models of a hypothetically unified Moldova. The focus of the thesis is placed upon the evolution of the different concepts on how to solve the conflict in Transnistria over the period of 1990-2010. The main topic is further set into a broader historical, ethnical and political context for better orientation and for the opportunity to reach more complex conclusions. The thesis does not represent a mere outline of steps taken to solve the Moldo-Transnistrian conflict, it also strives to offer a detailed picture of the question, provide insight into the parties' intentions and positions, name the factors that have a perceivable impact on the situation and finally suggest alternatives of the future development of the Moldo-Transnitrian relations. Besides dealing with this primary topic, on a broader scale the thesis provides a basic delineation of international relations in the region and may serve as a source material in their further study.
