The aim of this thesis is to find out how people with an Armenian background talk about the Armenian Genocide in 1915 and how it has affected their everyday life over time until now. The study is based on six interviews and two observations. Using phenomenology and discourse theory, the material has been analyzed and discussed. Phenomenology and discursive theories have helped to connect interview and observation responses to arrive at a conclusion. The results showed that the genocide has been talked about for generations, and that it still affects people in everyday life. The responses to influence in everyday life are more individual, as everyone's identity has been affected to varying degrees. Something that came out very clearly in the study is that everyone with an Armenian background, whose family has been affected by the genocide, wants to reach justice regarding genocide recognition and they want to pass this on for generations.
