Useful Answers to Frequent Questions on the Armenian Genocide


The document titled "Useful Answers to Frequent Questions on the Armenian Genocide" comprises pages 27-31 (revised and updated) of the booklet "What Every Armenian Should Know", which was written by Dr. Dennis R. Papazian and published by the Armenian Research Center in 1991. The document contains the chief arguments of the Turkish government and its supporters in denying the Armenian Genocide. Dr. Papazian has also answered these arguments in brief (He has answered these arguments in detail in other writings).
In the beginning of the document, Dr. Papazian explains the reason why the Armenian Genocide is the "forgotten genocide," and refers to the fact that the Turkish government has spent millions of dollars on public relations experts attempting to eradicate from the public mind a memory of the Armenian Genocide or at least to cast doubt in the public mind, noting that the Turkish government does not have to disprove the Armenian Genocide, it merely needs to cast doubt on what happened in 1915-1923.
