Denial of violence : Ottoman past, Turkish present and collective violence against the Armenians, 1789-2009
Fatma Müge Göçek (Author), Fatma Mèuge Gèoðcek (Author)
To this day, the Turkish state officially denies that what happened to the Armenians in 1915 was genocide, while the Western scholarly community is almost in full agreement that what happened to the forcefully deported Armenian subjects of the Ottoman Empire in 1915 was genocide, in which approximately 800,000 to 1.5 million Armenians perished. This book studies why denial of collective violence persists in Turkish state and society
