The Iğdır Genocide Memorial and Museum promotes the view that Armenians committed genocide against Turks, rather than vice versa.[1]

Armenian genocide denial is the claim that the Ottoman Empire and its ruling party, the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP), did not commit genocide against its Armenian citizens during World War I—a crime documented in a large body of evidence and affirmed by the vast majority of scholars.[2][3] The perpetrators denied the genocide as they carried it out, claiming that Armenians in the Ottoman Empire were resettled for military reasons, not exterminated. In the genocide's aftermath, incriminating documents were systematically destroyed, and denial has been the policy of every government of the Republic of Turkey, Шаблон:As of, and later adopted by the Republic of Azerbaijan, as of 1991.

Borrowing arguments used by the CUP to justify its actions, denial of the Armenian genocide rests on the assumption that the "relocation" of Armenians was a legitimate state action in response to a real or perceived Armenian uprising that threatened the existence of the empire during wartime. Deniers assert the CUP intended to resettle Armenians rather than kill them. They claim the death toll is exaggerated or attribute the deaths to other factors, such as a purported civil war, disease, bad weather, rogue local officials, or bands of Kurds and outlaws. Historian Ronald Grigor Suny summarizes the main argument as "there was no genocide, and the Armenians were to blame for it".[4]

One of the most important reasons for this denial is that the genocide enabled the establishment of a Turkish nation-state. Recognition would contradict Turkey's founding myths.[5] Since the 1920s, Turkey has worked to prevent official recognition of the genocide or even mention of it in other countries; these efforts have included millions of dollars spent on lobbying, the creation of research institutes, and intimidation and threats. Denial also affects Turkey's domestic policies and is taught in Turkish schools; some Turkish citizens who acknowledge the genocide have faced prosecution for "insulting Turkishness". The century-long effort by the Turkish state to deny the genocide sets it apart from other cases of genocide in history.[6] Azerbaijan also denies the genocide and campaigns against its recognition internationally. Most Turkish citizens and political parties in Turkey support the state's denial policy. The denial of the genocide contributed to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict as well as ongoing violence against Kurds in Turkey. A 2014 poll of 1500 people conducted by EDAM, a Turkish think-tank, found that 9 percent of Turkish citizens recognize the genocide.Шаблон:Sfn[7]Шаблон:TOC limit

The presence of Armenians in Anatolia is documented since the sixth century BC, almost two millennia before Turkish presence in the area.[9]Шаблон:Sfn The Ottoman Empire effectively treated Armenians and other non-Muslims as second-class citizens under Islamic rule, even after the nineteenth-century Tanzimat reforms intended to equalize their status.Шаблон:Sfn By the 1890s, Armenians faced forced conversions to Islam and increasing land seizures, which led a handful to join revolutionary parties such as the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF, also known as Dashnaktsutyun).Шаблон:Sfn In the mid-1890s, state-sponsored Hamidian massacres killed at least 100,000 Armenians, and in 1909, the authorities failed to prevent the Adana massacre, which resulted in the death of some 17,000 Armenians.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The Ottoman authorities denied any responsibility for these massacres, accusing Western powers of meddling and Armenians of provocation, while presenting Muslims as the main victims and failing to punish the perpetrators.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn[10] These same tropes of denial would be employed later to deny the Armenian genocide.[10]Шаблон:Sfn

The Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) came to power in two coups in 1908 and in 1913.Шаблон:Sfn In the meantime, the Ottoman Empire lost almost all of its European territory in the Balkan Wars; the CUP blamed Christian treachery for this defeat.Шаблон:Sfn Hundreds of thousands of Muslim refugees fled to Anatolia as a result of the wars; many were resettled in the Armenian-populated eastern provinces and harbored resentment against Christians.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn In August 1914, CUP representatives appeared at an ARF conference demanding that in the event of war with the Russian Empire, the ARF incite Russian Armenians to intervene on the Ottoman side.

In mid-April, after Ottoman leaders had decided to commit genocide,[11] Armenians barricaded themselves in the eastern city of Van.Шаблон:Sfn The defense of Van served as a pretext for anti-Armenian actions at the time and remains a crucial element in works that seek to deny or justify the genocide.Шаблон:Sfn On 24 April, hundreds of Armenian intellectuals were arrested in Constantinople. Systematic deportation of Armenians began, given a cover of legitimacy by the 27 May deportation law. The Special Organization guarded the deportation convoys consisting mostly of women, children, and the elderly who were subject to systematic rape and massacres. Their destination was the Syrian Desert, where those who survived the death marches were left to die of starvation or disease in makeshift camps.Шаблон:Sfn Deportation was only carried out in the areas away from active fighting; near the front lines, Armenians were massacred outright.[12] The leaders of the CUP ordered the deportations, with interior minister Talat Pasha, aware that he was sending the Armenians to their deaths, taking a leading role.[13] In a cable dated 13 July 1915, Talat stated that "the aim of the Armenian deportations is the final solution of the Armenian Question."Шаблон:Sfn

Historians estimate that 1.5 to 2 million Armenians lived in the Ottoman Empire in 1915, of whom 800,000 to 1.2 million were deported during the genocide. In 1916, a wave of massacres targeted the surviving Armenians in Syria; by the end of the year, only 200,000 were still alive.[14] An estimated 100,000 to 200,000 women and children were integrated into Muslim families through such methods as forced marriage, adoption and conversion.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The state confiscated and redistributed property belonging to murdered or deported Armenians.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn During the Russian occupation of eastern Anatolia, Russian and Armenian forces massacred as many as 60,000 Muslims. Making a false equivalence between these killings and the genocide is a central argument of denial.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

The genocide is documented extensively in Ottoman archives, documents collected by foreign diplomats (including those from neutral countries and Ottoman allies), eyewitness reports by Armenian survivors and Western missionaries, and the proceedings of the Ottoman Special Military Tribunals.[2] Talat Pasha kept his own statistical record, which revealed a massive discrepancy between the number of Armenians deported in 1915 and those surviving in 1917.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The vast majority of non-Turkish scholars accept the genocide as a historical fact, and an increasing number of Turkish historians are also acknowledging and studying the genocide.[3]

Origins

Ottoman Empire

Genocide denial is the minimization of an event established as genocide, either by denying the facts or by denying the intent of the perpetrators.[15] Denial was present from the outset as an integral part of the Armenian genocide, which was perpetrated under the guise of resettlement.[16][17] Denial emerged because of the Ottoman desire to maintain American neutrality in the war and German financial and military support.Шаблон:Sfn

Photograph of dead people
In the 1916 book The Armenian Aspirations and Revolutionary Movements, many photographs claimed to depict Armenian atrocities against Muslims, such as this one, were published.[18]

In May 1915, Russia, Britain, and France sent a diplomatic communiqué to the Ottoman government condemning the Ottoman "crimes against humanity" and threatening to hold accountable any Ottoman officials who were responsible.Шаблон:Sfn The Ottoman government denied that massacres of Armenians had occurred, and said that Armenians colluded with the enemy, while asserting that national sovereignty allowed them to take measures against the Armenians. It also alleged that Armenians had massacred Muslims and accused the Allies of committing war crimes.Шаблон:Sfn

In early 1916, the Ottoman government published a two-volume work titled The Armenian Aspirations and Revolutionary Movements, denying it had tried to exterminate the Armenian people.[19] At the time, little credence was given to such statements internationally,Шаблон:Sfn but some Muslims, previously ashamed by crimes against Armenians, changed their mind in response to propaganda about atrocities allegedly committed by Armenians.Шаблон:Sfn The themes of genocide denial that originated during the war were later recycled in Turkey's denial of the genocide.[17]Шаблон:Sfn

Turkish nationalist movement

The Armenian genocide itself played a key role in the destruction of the Ottoman Empire and the foundation of the Turkish republic.[5] The destruction of the Christian middle class, and redistribution of their properties, enabled the creation of a new Muslim/Turkish bourgeoisie.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn There was significant continuity between the Ottoman Empire and Republic of Turkey, and the Republican People's Party was the successor of the Committee of Union and Progress that carried out the genocide.[20][21] The Turkish nationalist movement depended on support from those who had perpetrated the genocide or enriched themselves from it, creating an incentive for silence.[22][23] Denial and minimization of wartime atrocities was crucial to the formation of a Turkish nationalist consensus.Шаблон:Sfn

Following the genocide, many survivors sought an Armenian state in eastern Anatolia; warfare between Turkish nationalists and Armenians was fierce, atrocities being committed on both sides. Later political demands and Armenian killings of Muslims have often been used to retroactively justify the 1915 genocide.[24]Шаблон:Sfn The Treaty of Sèvres granted Armenians a large territory in eastern Anatolia, but this provision was never implemented because of the Turkish invasion of Armenia in 1920.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Turkish troops conducted massacres of Armenian survivors in Cilicia and killed around 200,000 Armenians following the invasion of the Caucasus and the First Republic of Armenia; thus, historian Rouben Paul Adalian has argued that "Mustafa Kemal [the leader of the Turkish nationalist movement] completed what Talaat and Enver had started in 1915."[25]Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

The Ottoman government in Constantinople held courts-martial of a handful of perpetrators in 1919 to appease Western powers. Even so, the evidence was sabotaged, and many perpetrators were encouraged to escape to the interior. The reality of state-sponsored mass killing was not denied, but many circles of society considered it necessary and justified.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn As a British Foreign Office report stated, "not one Turk in a thousand can conceive that there might be a Turk who deserves to be hanged for the killing of Christians."Шаблон:Sfn Kemal repeatedly accused Armenians of plotting the extermination of Muslims in Anatolia.Шаблон:Sfn He contrasted the "murderous Armenians" to Turks, portrayed as a completely innocent and oppressed nation.Шаблон:Sfn In 1919, Kemal defended the Ottoman government's policies towards Christians, saying "Whatever has befallen the non-Muslim elements living in our country, is the result of the policies of separatism they pursued in a savage manner, when they allowed themselves to be made tools of foreign intrigues and abused their privileges."Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Causes

Historian Erik-Jan Zürcher argues that, since the Turkish nationalist movement depended on the support of a broad coalition of actors that benefitted from the genocide, it was impossible to break with the past.[22] From the founding of the republic, the genocide has been viewed as a necessity and raison d'état.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Many of the main perpetrators, including Talat Pasha, were hailed as national heroes of Turkey; many schools, streets, and mosques are still named after them.[26] Those convicted and sentenced to death by the postwar tribunal for crimes against Armenians, such as Mehmet Kemal and Behramzade Nusret, were proclaimed national and glorious martyrs and their families were rewarded by the state with confiscated Armenian properties.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Turkish historian Taner Akçam states that, "It's not easy for a nation to call its founding fathers murderers and thieves."[27] Kieser and other historians argue that "the single most important reason for this inability to accept culpability is the centrality of the Armenian massacres for the formation of the Turkish nation-state."[5] Turkish historian Doğan Gürpınar says that acknowledging the genocide would bring into question the foundational assumptions of the Turkish nation-state.Шаблон:Sfn

One factor in explaining denial is Sèvres Syndrome, a popular belief that Turkey is besieged by implacable enemies.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Despite the unlikelihood that recognition would lead to any territorial changes, many Turkish officials believe that genocide recognition is part of a plot to partition Turkey or extract other reparations.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Acknowledgement of the genocide is perceived by the state as a threat to Turkey's national security, and Turks who do so are seen as traitors.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn During his fieldwork in an Anatolian village in the 1980s, anthropologist Sam Kaplan found that "a visceral fear of Armenians returning ... and reclaiming their lands still gripped local imagination".[28]

Destruction and concealment of evidence

An edict of the Ottoman government banned foreigners from taking photographs of Armenian refugees or the corpses that accumulated on the sides of the roads on which death marches were carried out. Violators were threatened with arrest.Шаблон:Sfn Strictly enforced censorship laws prevented Armenian survivors from publishing memoirs, prohibiting "any publication at odds with the general policies of the state".Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Those who acknowledge the genocide have been prosecuted under laws against "insulting Turkishness".Шаблон:Sfn Talat Pasha had decreed that "everything must be done to abolish even the word 'Armenia' in Turkey".Шаблон:Sfn In the postwar Turkish republic, Armenian cultural heritage has been subject to systematic destruction in an attempt to eradicate the Armenian presence.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn On 5 January 1916, Enver Pasha ordered all place names of Greek, Armenian, or Bulgarian origin to be changed, a policy fully implemented in the later republic, continuing into the 1980s.[29] Mass graves of genocide victims have also been destroyed, although many still exist.Шаблон:Sfn After the 1918 armistice, incriminating documents in the Ottoman archives were systematically destroyed.Шаблон:Sfn The records of the postwar courts-martial in Constantinople have also disappeared.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Recognizing that some archival documents supported its position, the Turkish government announced that the archives relevant to the "Armenian question" would be opened in 1985.Шаблон:Sfn According to Turkish historian Halil Berktay, diplomat Шаблон:Ill conducted a second purge of the archives at this time.Шаблон:Sfn The archives were officially opened in 1989,Шаблон:Sfn but in practice, some archives remained sealed, and access to other archives was restricted to scholars sympathetic to the official Turkish narrative.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Turkish historiography

In Mustafa Kemal's 1927 Nutuk speech, which was the foundation of Kemalist historiography, the tactics of silence and denial are employed to deal with violence against Armenians. As in his other speeches, he presents Turks as innocent of any wrongdoing and as victims of horrific Armenian atrocities.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn For decades, Turkish historiography ignored the Armenian genocide. One of the early exceptions was the genocide perpetrator Esat Uras, who published The Armenians in History and the Armenian Question in 1950. Uras's book, probably written in response to post–World War II Soviet territorial claims, was a novel synthesis of earlier arguments deployed by the CUP during the war, and linked wartime denial with the "official narrative" on the genocide developed in the 1980s.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

In the 1980s, following Armenian efforts for recognition of the genocide and a wave of assassinations by Armenian militants, Turkey began to present an official narrative of the "Armenian question", which it framed as an issue of contemporary terrorism rather than historical genocide. Retired diplomats were recruited to write denialist works, completed without professional methodology or ethical standards and based on cherry-picking archival information favorable to Turks and unfavorable to Armenians.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The Council of Higher Education was set up in 1981 by the Turkish military junta, and has been instrumental in cementing "an alternative, 'national' scholarship with its own reference system", according to Gürpınar.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Besides academic research, Türkkaya Ataöv taught the first university course on the "Armenian question" in 1983.Шаблон:Sfn By the twenty-first century, the Turkish Historical Society, known for publications upholding the official position of the Turkish government, had as one of its main functions the countering of genocide claims.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Around 1990, Taner Akçam, working in Germany, was the first Turkish historian to acknowledge and study the genocide.[30] During the 1990s, private universities began to be established in Turkey, enabling challenges to state-sponsored views.Шаблон:Sfn In 2005, academics at three Turkish universities organized an academic conference dealing with the genocide. Scheduled to be held in May 2005, the conference was suspended following a campaign of intimidation, but eventually held in September.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The conference represented the first major challenge to Turkey's founding myths in the public discourse of the countryШаблон:Sfn and resulted in the creation of an alternative, non-denialist historiography by elite academics in Istanbul and Ankara, in parallel to an ongoing denialist historiography.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Turkish academics who accept and study the genocide as fact have been subjected to death threats and prosecution for insulting Turkishness.Шаблон:Sfn[31] Western scholars generally ignore the Turkish denialist historiography because they consider its methods unscholarly—especially the selective use of sources.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Education

Turkish schools, public or private, are required to use history textbooks approved by the Ministry of Education.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Refn The state uses this monopoly to increase support for the official denialist position,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn vilifying Armenians and presenting them as enemies.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn For decades, these textbooks did not mention Armenians as part of Ottoman history.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Since the 1980s, textbooks discuss the "events of 1915", but deflect the blame from the Ottoman government to other actors. They accuse imperialist powers of manipulating the Armenians to undermine the empire, and allege that the Armenians committed treason or presented a threat. Some textbooks admit that deportations occurred and Armenians died, but present this action as necessary and justified. Since 2005, textbooks have accused Armenians of perpetrating genocide against Turkish Muslims.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn In 2003, students in each grade level were instructed to write essays refuting the genocide.Шаблон:Sfn

Society

For decades, the genocide was a taboo subject in Turkish society.Шаблон:Sfn Göçek states that it is the interaction between state and society that makes denial so persistent.Шаблон:Sfn Besides the Turkish state, Turkish intellectuals and civil society have also denied the genocide.Шаблон:Sfn Turkish fiction dealing with the genocide typically denies it, while claiming the fictional narrative is based on true events.[32] Noting many people in eastern Turkey have passed down memories of the event, genocide scholar Uğur Ümit Üngör says that "the Turkish government is denying a genocide that its own population remembers."Шаблон:Sfn The Turkish state and most of society have engaged in similar silencing regarding other ethnic persecutions and human rights violations in the Ottoman Empire and Republican Turkey against Greeks, Assyrians, Kurds, Jews and Alevis.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Most Turks support the state's policies with regard to genocide denial. Some admit that massacres occurred but regard them as justified responses to Armenian treachery.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Many still consider Armenians to be a fifth column.[24] According to Halil Karaveli, "the word [genocide] incites strong, emotional reactions among Turks from all walks of society and of every ideological inclination".[33] Turkish–Armenian journalist Hrant Dink was outspoken in his advocacy for facing historical truths to achieve a better society and reconciliation between ethnic groups. He was prosecuted for insulting Turkishness and was assassinated in 2007 by a Turkish ultranationalist.[34][35] In 2013, a study sampling Turkish university students in the United States found that 65% agreed with the official view that Armenian deaths occurred as a result of "inter-communal warfare" and that another 10% blamed Armenians for causing the violence.Шаблон:Sfn A 2014 survey found that only 9% of Turkish citizens thought their government should recognize the genocide.Шаблон:Sfn[7] Many believe that such an acknowledgement is imposed by Armenians and foreign powers with no benefit to Turkey.Шаблон:Sfn Many Kurds, who themselves have suffered political repression in Turkey, have recognized and condemned the genocide.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Politics

The Islamic conservative Justice and Development Party (AKP) came to power in 2002Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn and took an approach to history that was critical of both the CUP and the early Republican era. This position initially led to some liberalization and a wider range of views that could be expressed in the public sphere. The AKP presented its approach to the "events of 1915" as an alternative to genocide denial and genocide recognition, by emphasizing shared suffering.[36][37] Over time, and especially since the 2016 failed coup, the AKP government became increasingly authoritarian; political repression and censorship has made it more difficult to discuss controversial topics such as the Armenian genocide.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:As of, all major political parties in Turkey, except the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), as well as many pro- and anti-government media and civil society organizations, support denial. Both government and opposition parties have strongly opposed genocide recognition in other countries.Шаблон:Sfn No Turkish government has admitted what happened to the Armenians was a crime, let alone a genocide.[38]Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn On 24 April 2019, president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan tweeted, "The relocation of the Armenian gangs and their supportersШаблон:Nbsp... was the most reasonable action that could be taken in such a period".[39]

Foreign relations of Turkey

Шаблон:See also Turkish efforts to project its genocide denial overseas date to the 1920s,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn or, alternately, to the genocide itself.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Turkey's century-long effort to deny the Armenian genocide sets this genocide apart from others in history. According to genocide scholar Roger W. Smith, "In no other instance has a government gone to such extreme lengths to deny that a massive genocide took place."[6] Central to Turkey's ability to deny the genocide and counter its recognition is the country's strategic position in the Middle East, Cold War alliance with the West, and membership of NATO.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Historians have described the role of other countries in enabling Turkey's genocide denial as a form of collusion.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

At the Lausanne Conference of 1922–1923, Turkish representatives repeated the version of Armenian history that had been developed during the war.Шаблон:Sfn The resulting Treaty of Lausanne annulled the previous Treaty of Sèvres which had mandated the prosecution of Ottoman war criminals and the restoration of property to Christian survivors. Instead, Lausanne granted impunity to all perpetrators.Шаблон:Sfn[40] After the 1980 Turkish military coup, Turkey developed more institutionalized ways of countering genocide claims. In 1981, the foreign ministry established a dedicated office (İAGM) specifically to promote Turkey's view of the Armenian genocide.Шаблон:Sfn In 2001, a further centralization created the Committee to Coordinate the Struggle with the Baseless Genocide Claims (ASİMKK). The Institute for Armenian Research, a think tank which focuses exclusively on the Armenian issue, was created in 2001 following the French Parliament's recognition of the genocide.Шаблон:Sfn ASİMKK disbanded after the 2017 Turkish constitutional referendum.[41]

According to sociologist Levon Chorbajian, Turkey's "modus operandi remains consistent throughout and seeks maximalist positions, offers no compromise though sometimes hints at it, and employs intimidation and threats."Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Motivated by belief in a global Jewish conspiracy, the Turkish foreign ministry has recruited Turkish Jews to participate in denialist efforts. Turkish Jewish leaders helped defeat resolutions recognizing the genocide, and avoid mentioning it at academic conferences and in Holocaust museums.Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:As of, Turkey spends millions of dollars each year lobbying against the genocide's recognition.Шаблон:Sfn Akçam stated in 2020 that Turkey has definitively lost the information war over the Armenian genocide on both the academic and diplomatic fronts, its official narrative being treated like ordinary denialism.[41]

From 1915 to 1918, Germany and the Ottoman Empire undertook "joint propaganda efforts of denial."Шаблон:Sfn German newspapers repeated the Ottoman government's denial of committing atrocities and stories of alleged Armenian treachery.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The government censorship handbook mandated strict limits on speech about Armenians, although penalties for violations were light.Шаблон:Sfn On 11 January 1916, socialist deputy Karl Liebknecht raised the issue of the Armenian genocide in the Reichstag, receiving the reply that the Ottoman government "has been forced, due to the seditious machinations of our enemies, to transfer the Armenian population of certain areas, and to assign them new places of residence." Laughter interrupted Liebknecht's follow-up questions.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn During the 1921 trial of Soghomon Tehlirian for the assassination of Talat Pasha, so much evidence was revealed that denial became untenable. German nationalists instead portrayed what they acknowledged as the intentional extermination of the Armenian people as justified.Шаблон:Sfn

In March 2006, Turkish nationalist groups organized two rallies in Berlin intended to commemorate "the murder of Talat Pasha" and protest "the lie of genocide." German politicians criticized the march, and turnout was low.[42] When the Bundestag voted to recognize the Armenian genocide in 2016, Turkish media harshly criticized the resolution and eleven deputies of Turkish origin received police protection because of death threats.Шаблон:Sfn Germany's large Turkish community has been cited as a reason why the government hesitated,Шаблон:Sfn and Turkish organizations lobbied against the resolution and organized demonstrations.[43]

United States

Шаблон:Main Historian Donald Bloxham states that, "In a very real sense, 'genocide denial' was accepted and furthered by the United States government before the term genocide had even been coined."Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn In interwar Turkey, prominent American diplomats like Mark L. Bristol and Joseph Grew endorsed the Turkish nationalist view that the Armenian genocide was a war against the forces of imperialism.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn In 1922, before receiving the Chester concession, Colby Chester argued that Christians of Anatolia were not massacred; his writing exhibited many of the themes of later genocide denial.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn In the 1930s, the Turkish embassy scuttled a planned film adaptation of Franz Werfel's popular novel The Forty Days of Musa Dagh by the American company MGM, threatening a boycott of American films.

Turkey began political lobbying around 1975.[44] Şükrü Elekdağ, Turkish ambassador to the United States from 1979 to 1989, worked aggressively to counter the trend of Armenian genocide recognition by courting academics, business interests, and Jewish groups.Шаблон:Sfn Committee members of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum reported Elekdağ told them that the safety of Jews in Turkey was not guaranteed if the museum covered the Armenian genocide.Шаблон:Sfn Under his tenure, the Institute of Turkish Studies (ITS) was set up, funded by $3 million from Turkey, and the country spent $1 million annually on public relations.Шаблон:Sfn In 2000, Elekdağ complained ITS had "lost its function and its effectiveness."[44] Turkey threatened to cut off the United States' access to key air bases in Turkey, were it to recognize the genocide.Шаблон:Sfn In 2007, a Congressional resolution for genocide recognition failed because of Turkish pressure. Opponents of the bill said a genocide had taken place, but argued against formal recognition to preserve good relations with Turkey.Шаблон:Sfn Each year since 1994, the United States president has issued a commemorative message on 24 April. Turkey has sometimes made concessions to keep the president from using the word "genocide".Шаблон:Sfn[45] In 2019, both houses of Congress passed resolutions formally recognizing the genocide.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn On 24 April 2021, the Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, President Joe Biden referred to the events as "genocide" in a statement released by the White House.[46]

United Kingdom

Human rights lawyer Geoffrey Robertson charged that around 2000, "genocide denial had entrenched itself in the Eastern Department [of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO)] ... to such an extent that it was briefing ministers with a bare-faced disregard for readily ascertainable facts", such as its own records from the time.Шаблон:Sfn In 2006, in response to a debate initiated by MP Steven Pound, a representative of the FCO said the United Kingdom did not recognize the genocide because "the evidence is not sufficiently unequivocal".Шаблон:Sfn

Israel

Шаблон:See also According to historians Шаблон:Ill and Marc David Baer, Armenian genocide denial was the most important factor in the normalization of Israel–Turkey relations.Шаблон:Sfn The 1982 International Conference on the Holocaust and Genocide, which took place in Tel Aviv, included six presentations on the Armenian genocide. Turkey threatened that if the conference was held, it would close its borders to Jewish refugees from Iran and Syria, putting their lives in danger. As a result, the Israeli Foreign Ministry joined the ultimately unsuccessful effort to cancel the conference.Шаблон:Sfn

In April 2001, a Turkish newspaper quoted foreign minister Shimon Peres as saying, "We reject attempts to create a similarity between the Holocaust and the Armenian allegations. Nothing similar to the Holocaust occurred. It is a tragedy what the Armenians went through, but not a genocide."Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn According to Charny and Auron, this statement crossed the line into active denial of the Armenian genocide.Шаблон:Sfn Scholar Eldad Ben Aharon considers that Peres simply made explicit what had been Israel's policy since 1948.Шаблон:Sfn Israel–Turkey relations deteriorated in the late 2010s, but Israel's relations with Azerbaijan are close and the Azerbaijan–Israel International Association has lobbied against recognition of the genocide.Шаблон:Sfn

Denialism in academia

Until the twenty-first century, Ottoman and Turkish studies marginalized the killings of Armenians, which many academics portrayed as a wartime measure justified by emergency and avoided discussing in depth. These fields have long enjoyed close institutional links with the Turkish state. Statements by these academics were cited to further the Turkish denial agenda.[47] Historians who recognized the genocide feared professional retaliation for expressing their views.[48][49] The methodology of denial has been compared to the tactics of the tobacco industry or global warming denial: funding of biased research, creating a smokescreen of doubt, and thereby manufacturing a controversyШаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn where there is no genuine academic dispute.Шаблон:Sfn

Beginning in the 1980s, the Turkish government has funded research institutes to prevent recognition of the genocide.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn[44] On 19 May 1985, The New York Times and The Washington Post ran an advertisement from the Assembly of Turkish American AssociationsШаблон:Sfn in which 69 academics—most of the professors of Ottoman history working in the United States at the time—called on Congress not to adopt the resolution on the Armenian genocide.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Many of the signatories received research grants funded by the Turkish government, and a majority were not specialists on the late Ottoman Empire.[50][51] Heath Lowry, director of the Institute of Turkish Studies, helped secure the signatures; for his efforts, Lowry received the Foundation for the Promotion and Recognition of Turkey Prize.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Over the next decade, Turkey funded six chairs of Ottoman and Turkish studies to counter recognition of the genocide; Lowry was appointed to one of the chairs.Шаблон:Sfn According to historian Keith David Watenpaugh, the resolution had "a terrible and lasting influence on the rising generation of scholars."[48] In 2000, Elekdağ admitted the statement had become useless because none of the original signatories besides Justin McCarthy would agree to sign another, similar declaration.Шаблон:Sfn

More recent academic denialism in the United States has focused on an alleged Armenian uprising, said to justify the persecution of Armenians as a legitimate counterinsurgency.Шаблон:Sfn In 2009, the University of Utah opened its "Turkish Studies Project", funded by the Turkish Coalition of America (TCA) and led by M. Hakan Yavuz, with Elekdağ on the advisory board.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The University of Utah Press has published several books denying the genocide,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn beginning with Guenter Lewy's The Armenian Massacres in Ottoman Turkey (2006). Lewy's book had been rejected by eleven publishers and, according to Marc Mamigonian, became "one of the key texts of modern denial".Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn TCA has also provided financial support to several authors including McCarthy, Michael Gunter, Yücel Güçlü, and Edward J. Erickson for writing books that deny the Armenian genocide.Шаблон:Sfn According to Richard G. Hovannisian, of recent deniers in academia, almost all have connections to Turkey and those with Turkish citizenship have all worked for the Turkish foreign ministry.Шаблон:Sfn

Academic integrity controversies

Many scholars consider it unethical for academics to deny the Armenian genocide.[49][52] Beyond that, there have been several controversies about academic integrity relating to denial of the genocide. In 1990, psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton received a letter from Шаблон:Ill, Turkish ambassador to the United States, questioning references to the Armenian genocide in one of Lifton's books. The ambassador inadvertently included a draft of a letter from Lowry advising the ambassador on how to prevent mention of the Armenian genocide in scholarly works. Lowry was later named Atatürk Professor of Ottoman Studies at Princeton University, which the Turkish government had endowed with a $750,000 grant. His actions were described as "subversion of scholarship";Шаблон:Sfn he later said it was a mistake to have written the letter.[53]

In 2006, Ottomanist historian Donald Quataert—one of the 69 signatories of the 1985 statement to the United States Congress[54]—reviewed The Great Game of Genocide, a book about the Armenian genocide, agreeing that "genocide" was the right word to use;Шаблон:Sfn the article challenged what Quataert termed "the Ottomanist wall of silence"Шаблон:Sfn on the issue.[54][55]Шаблон:Sfn Weeks later, he resigned as chairman of the board of directors of the Institute of Turkish Studies after Turkish officials threatened that if he did not retract his statements, the institute's funding would be withdrawn. Several members of the board resigned and both the Middle East Studies Association and Turkish Studies Association criticized the violation of Quataert's academic freedom.[54][55]Шаблон:Sfn

In a lecture he delivered in June 2011, Akçam stated that a Turkish foreign ministry official told him that the Turkish government was offering money to academics in the United States for denial of the genocide, noting the coincidence between what his source said and Gunter's book Armenian History and the Question of Genocide.[56] Hovannisian believes that books denying the genocide are published because of flaws in peer review leading to "a strong linkage among several mutually sympathetic reviewers" without submitting the books to academics who would point out errors.Шаблон:Sfn

Examination of claims

Шаблон:See also The official Turkish view is based on the belief that the Armenian genocide was a legitimate state action and therefore cannot be challenged on legal or moral grounds.Шаблон:Sfn Publications from this point of view share many of the basic facts with non-denialist histories, but differ in their interpretation and emphases.Шаблон:Sfn In line with the CUP's justification of its actions, denialist works portray Armenians as an existential threat to the empire in a time of war, while rejecting the CUP's intent to exterminate the Armenian people. Historian Ronald Grigor Suny summarizes the main denialist argument as, "There was no genocide, and the Armenians were to blame for it."[4]Шаблон:Sfn

Denialist works portray Armenians as terrorists and secessionists,[57] shifting the blame from the CUP to the Armenians.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn According to this logic, the deportations of Armenian civilians was a justified and proportionate response to Armenian treachery, either real or as perceived by the Ottoman authorities.[58]Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Proponents cite the doctrine of military necessity and attribute collective guilt to all Armenians for the military resistance of some, despite the fact that the law of war criminalizes the deliberate killing of civilians.[59][60] Deaths are blamed on factors beyond the control of the Ottoman authorities, such as weather, disease, or rogue local officials.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The role of the Special Organization is deniedШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn and massacres are instead blamed on Kurds,Шаблон:Sfn "brigands", and "armed gangs" that supposedly operated outside the control of the central government.Шаблон:Sfn

Other arguments include:

Denial of the Armenian genocide is compared frequently to Holocaust denial because of similar tactics of misrepresenting evidence, false equivalence, claiming that atrocities were invented by war propaganda and that powerful lobbies manufacture genocide allegations for their own profit, subsuming one-sided systematic extermination into war deaths, and shifting blame from the perpetrators to the victims of genocide. Both forms of negationism share the goal of rehabilitating the ideologies which brought genocide about.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Legality

According to former International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) judge Flavia Lattanzi, the present Turkish government's "denial of past Ottoman and Turkish authorities' wrongdoings is a new violation of international law".Шаблон:Sfn

Some European countries have adopted laws to criminalize denial of the genocide;[64] such laws are controversial, opponents arguing that they erode freedom of speech.Шаблон:Sfn In 1993, French newspapers printed several interviews with British-American historian Bernard Lewis in which he argued there was no Armenian genocide because the Armenians brought their fate upon themselves.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn A French state prosecutor brought criminal proceedings against him for these statements under the Gayssot Law. The prosecution failed, as the court determined that the law did not apply to events before World War II.Шаблон:Sfn In a 1995 civil proceeding brought by three Armenian genocide survivors, a French court censured Lewis' remarks under Article 1382 of the Civil Code and fined him one franc, and ordering the publication of the judgment at Lewis' cost in Le Monde. The court ruled that while Lewis has the right to his views, their expression harmed a third party and that "it is only by hiding elements which go against his thesis that the defendant was able to state there was no 'serious proof' of the Armenian Genocide".[65]Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

In March 2007, a Swiss court found Doğu Perinçek, a member of the Talat Pasha Committee (named after the main perpetrator of the genocide),Шаблон:Sfn[66]Шаблон:Sfn guilty under the Swiss law that outlawed genocide denial. Perinçek appealed; in December,[67] the Swiss Supreme Court confirmed his sentence.[68][67] The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) overturned the verdict in Perinçek v. Switzerland on freedom of speech grounds.[69] Since the ECtHR has ruled that member states may criminalize Holocaust denial, the verdict has been criticized for creating a double standard between the Holocaust and other genocides, along with failure to acknowledge anti-Armenianism as a motivation for genocide denial.[66][70][71] Although the court did not rule on whether the events of 1915 constituted genocide, several separate opinions recognized the genocide as a historical fact.[69] Perinçek misrepresented the verdict by saying, "We put an end to the genocide lie."Шаблон:Sfn

Kieser, Göçek, and Cheterian state that ongoing denial prevents Turkey from achieving a full democracy including pluralism and human rights, and that this denial fosters state repression of minority groups in Turkey, especially Kurds.[72] Akçam says that genocide denial "rationaliz[es] the violent persecution of religious and ethnic minorities" and desensitizes the population to future episodes of mass violence.Шаблон:Sfn Until the Turkish state acknowledges genocide, he argues, "there is a potential there, always, that it can do it again".[73] Vicken Cheterian says that genocide denial "pollutes the political culture of entire societies, where violence and threats become part of a political exercise degrading basic rights and democratic practice".Шаблон:Sfn When recognizing the Armenian genocide in April 2015, Pope Francis added, "concealing or denying evil is like allowing a wound to keep bleeding without bandaging it".[74]

Denial has also affected Armenians, particularly those who live in Turkey. Historian Talin Suciyan states that the Armenian genocide and its denial "led to a series of other policies that perpetuated the process by liquidating their properties, silencing and marginalising the survivors, and normalising all forms of violence against them".Шаблон:Sfn According to an article in the Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment & Trauma, "[d]enial prevents healing of the wounds inflicted by genocide, and constitutes an attack on the collective identity and national cultural continuity of the victimized people".[75] Göçek argues "the lack of acknowledgement literally prevents the wounds opened by past violence to ever heal".[76] The activities of Armenian militant groups in the 1970s and 1980s, like the Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia and the Justice Commandos of the Armenian Genocide, was caused partly by the failure of peaceful efforts to elicit Turkish acknowledgement of the genocide.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Some historians, such as Stefan Ihrig, have argued that impunity for the perpetrators of the Armenian genocide, as well as silence or justification from bystanders of the crime, emboldened the perpetrators of the Holocaust.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Turkey closed its border with Armenia in 1993, following the First Nagorno-Karabakh War between Armenia and Turkic-speaking Azerbaijan. The closed border harms the economies of Armenia and eastern Turkey.Шаблон:Sfn[78] Although Armenia was willing to normalize relations without preconditions, Turkey demanded that the Armenian side abandon all support for the recognition efforts of the Armenian diaspora.Шаблон:Sfn There have been two major attempts at Turkish-Armenian reconciliation—the Turkish Armenian Reconciliation Commission (2000–2004) and the Zurich Protocols (2009)—both of which failed partly because of the controversy over the Armenian genocide. In both cases, the mediators did their best to sideline historical disputes, which proved impossible.Шаблон:Sfn Armenian diaspora groups opposed both initiatives and especially a historical commission to investigate what they considered established facts.Шаблон:Sfn Bloxham asserts that since "denial has always been accompanied by rhetoric of Armenian treachery, aggression, criminality, and territorial ambition, it actually enunciates an ongoing if latent threat of Turkish 'revenge'."Шаблон:Sfn

Since the beginning of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Azerbaijan has adopted Turkey's genocide denial and worked to promote it internationally.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The Armenian genocide is also widely denied by Azerbaijani civil society.[79] Many Armenians saw a connection between the genocide and later anti-Armenian violence like the 1988 Sumgait pogrom, though the connection between the Karabakh conflict and the Armenian genocide is mostly made by Azerbaijani elites.Шаблон:Sfn Azerbaijani nationalists accused Armenians of staging the Sumgait pogrom and other anti-Armenian pogroms, similar to the Turkish discourse on the Armenian genocide.Шаблон:Sfn

Azerbaijan state propaganda claims that the Armenians have perpetrated a genocide against Azeris over two centuries, a genocide that includes the Treaty of Gulistan (1813), the Treaty of Turkmenchay (1828), Baku Commune, the January 1990 deployment of Soviet troops to Baku (following the massacres of Armenians in Baku), and especially the 1992 Khojali massacre. According to this propaganda, Armenians committed "the real genocide" and are accused of killing or deporting as many as 2 million Azeris throughout this period.[79]Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Following Azerbaijan, Turkey and the Turkish diaspora have lobbied for recognition of the Khojali massacre as a genocide to downplay the Armenian genocide.Шаблон:Sfn Azerbaijan sees any country that recognizes the Armenian genocide as an enemy and has even threatened sanctions.Шаблон:Sfn Cheterian argues that the "unresolved historic legacy of the 1915 genocide" helped cause the Karabakh conflict and prevent its resolution, while "the ultimate crime itself continues to serve simultaneously as a model and as a threat, as well as a source of existential fear".Шаблон:Sfn
