Armenian Genocide denial

For more than a century, Turkey has denied any role in organizing the killing of Armenians in what historians have long accepted as a genocide that started in 1915, as World War I spread across continents. The Turkish narrative of denial has hinged on the argument that the original documents from postwar military tribunals that convicted the genocide’s planners were nowhere to be found.

A personal police guard has been given to a Turkish-origin German politician who has received multiple death threats after the Bundestag's approval of a resolution recognizing the World War I-era killings of Anatolian Armenians at the hands of Ottomans as "genocide."

The recent rulings from France's Constitutional Council about Holocaust denial and the Armenian incidents of 1915 are important from a couple of angles. 

Welcoming a ruling by the top European court of human rights, which said Switzerland had violated a Turkish politician?s right to freedom of speech by convicting him for denying the killing of Armenians by Ottoman Turks in 1915 amounted to genocide, Turkey has called the ruling ?an important turning point, as it provides a reply to the exploitation of history and law for political motives.?

Turkey has warned that adoption of a resolution condemning the centennial anniversary of Anatolian Armenians deaths during the World War I as genocide by the Belgian Chamber of Deputies will have a deep impact on bilateral relations between the two countries.

Belgian PM Michel's recognition of the killing of Armenians in the hands of the Ottoman Empire in 1915 as 'genocide' has 'distorted historical facts,' Turkey says Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel's recognition of the killing of Armenians in the hands of the Ottoman Empire in 1915 as genocide" has "distorted historical facts," the Turkish Foreign Ministry said June 20 in statement.<

Recep Tayiip Erdogan expressed his ire and launched a verbal attack against countries that have formally recognized the Armenian Genocide.

The Turkish President accused France, Germany, Russia and Austria for supporting “claims based on Armenian lies”. His verbal remonstrations included the US, even though Obama avoided using the word “genocide” in his official statements.

Fulfilling expectations, U.S. President Barack Obama has refrained from using the word ?genocide? in a statement to mark the 100th anniversary of the mass deportation of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire, while praising two figures who did it in the past.

Simple: They are regional administrations that have recognized the Armenian genocide.

BELGRADE - MPs of the opposition New Party (NS) submitted to the Serbian parliament Monday a draft resolution on the recognition and condemnation of genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire against the Armenian people in the period from 1915 to 1922.
