In the dying days of the Ottoman Empire, under the cover of World War I, the Young Turk government embarked on a racist strategy of “Turkification” of what had been a multi-ethnic, multi-religious empire. 1,5 million Armenians were murdered in the Armenian Genocide, and survivors were exiled from their 3,000-year-old homeland. Rather than acknowledge the Armenian Genocide, the Turkish government directs a sophisticated, multi-million dollar campaign of denial, the final stage of genocide.
Countries such as Canada, Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Netherlands, France, Greece, Russia, Poland, Switzerland and others have officially recognized the Armenian genocide.
