The Armenian Genocide (1915-1923) was the first modern genocide of the Twentieth Century. The perpetrator of this crime against humanity was the Ottoman Government. Using different types of mass extermination practices including forced marches, 1.5 million Armenians were murdered. Prior to World War I, approximately three million Armenians were living in Western Armenia (Anatolia) and had resided there for over 2,500 years. Those who survived were forced into exile and have never been able to return. An entire people, and their history, were virtually erased within years. today, the Turkish government actively denies the Armenian Genocide. Israel Charny,the Editor of the Encyclopedia of Genocide, explains that “the denial of genocide is a form of aggression. It continues the process of genocide. It strives to reshape history in order to rehabilitate the perpetrators and demonize the victims. It prevents healing of the wounds inflicted by genocide. Denying genocide is the final stage of genocide—it murders the dignity of the survivors and destroys the remembrance of the crime.†Information from: www.teachgenocide.org
