“We continue to bleed red, blue, and orange:” The costs of the

denial of the Armenian Genocide

Posted by Emma Noradounkian

on February 14, 2015

Though Polish Jewish lawyer and drafter of the 1948 United Nations Convention on the Preventionand Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG) Raphael Lemkin officially coined the term“genocide” in 1944, there can be no doubt that the Young Turk government’s deliberate and centrally-

planned extermination of 1.5 million Armenians in the Ottoman Empire between 1915 and 1917

should be labelled as such.[1] With the intention of purifying the region of Anatolia of its “cancerous”Christian population, the Young Turks undertook a series of “ethnoreligious homogenization” policiesconsisting of murder, mass rape, deportations, and forced death marches against hundreds of thousands of Armenians.[2] These atrocities fall under Article II of the CPPCG, which provides adefinition for the crime of genocide: “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a

national, ethnical, racial or religious group.”[3]

Yet, the classification of this crime as genocide has consistently been denied by the successiveTurkish governments and a number of Turkish and non-Turkish scholars alike.[4] The reluctance of defining the extermination of Armenians as a genocide has also been widespread amongst themajority of the world’s states, with only twenty-two states officially acknowledging the ArmenianGenocide.[5] The international community continues to suffer from what Lipmann calls “denialsyndrome,” in which it is “reluctant to invoke the morally and politically significant term genocide”

with regards to the Armenian massacres from 1915 to 1917.[6] This commonly-held denial of itsreality as a genocide not only enables cross-generational trauma within the Armenian community,thereby preventing it from healing from its traumatic history, but its denial also allows for itsrepetition in addition to the continuation of other present-day and future genocidal episodes.[7] Beforeexamining the consequences of denying the Armenian Genocide–which extend to the denial of allother genocides–it is important to consider the reasons for and the ways in which several scholars andthe Turkish government have taken pains to utterly deny it themselves.

Hovannisian argues that “following the physical destruction of a people and their material culture,memory is all that is left and is targeted as the final victim.”[8] Thus, denial, by which the memory of

a peoples’ physical annihilation is destroyed and forever forgotten, marks the final stage of genocide.[9] In the process of denial, eyewitness and survivor accounts are discredited, archives on thegenocide are destroyed, and scholars supporting the actuality of the genocide are bribed and/or

persecuted and executed.[10] Moreover, the perpetrators aim to reshape historical facts, exoneratethemselves of all blame, and demonize victims, reversing the victim-perpetrator roles and claimingthat they instead suffered at the hands of the other.[11] Such intentions for the denial of the ArmenianGenocide transpire in the writings of Kamuran Gürün, Stanford Shaw, Justin McCarthy, and HeathLowry amongst others, and in the actions of the Turkish government.[12] The denial tactics of theTurkish government over the years have included its scapegoating of Kurdish officials who wereallegedly blamed for this atrocity following the First World War; its continued coercion of journalistsand foreign scholars to write about “the other side of the story” since the 1960s; its disruption of genocide talks and conventions such as that of Tel Aviv in 1982; and most recently, its invitation tothe anniversary of the Battle of Gallipoli to 102 countries, including Armenia, which convenientlycoincides with the centenary of the commemoration of the Armenian Genocide on April 24, 2015.[13]

Whether tacitly or explicitly, the denial of genocide may encourage further instances of genocide bythe same perpetrators and by other groups.[14] Denial absolves the wrongdoers from responsibility for genocide; they are undeterred from recommitting the same crime, either towards the same victimgroup or to others.[15] A more recent instance of the Turkish government’s complicity in an analleged assault on Armenians, according to the Armenian National Committee–International, occurredin March 2014 when Turkey was claimed to have played an active role in aiding al Qaeda-affiliated

terrorist groups in their three-day attack on Armenians in Kessab, Syria.[16] The same logic applies toother possible perpetrator groups, who, in turn, are also empowered to make similar genocidalattempts, as they are guaranteed impunity like their Turkish counterpart.[17] In fact, Alayariancontends that, had the international community officially recognized the Armenian Genocide, the firstgenocide of the twentieth-century, and punished its perpetrators, the Jewish Holocaust and subsequentgenocides could have been averted.[18]

The denial of the Armenian Genocide also prevents Armenians across the globe from fully healingfrom the cross-generational trauma that they continue to suffer.[19] While the present diasporans of Armenian Genocide survivors did not experience the Genocide themselves, they undeniably identifywith their Armenian ancestors who were victimized a hundred years ago and who have orallytransmitted their trauma throughout the generations.[20] Staub argues that the members of victims of genocide remain in fear of a future genocide, unable to trust the majority of the internationalcommunity that failed and continues to fail to protect them by virtue of their denial: “They mistrust

people and see the world as a dangerous place. They feel disconnected from the people and a world

that has harmed them and, at the very least, has not protected them.”[21] If the world were torecognize the suffering that the Armenians endured from 1915 to 1917, Staub holds that they could

begin to recover from their trauma.[22] If the perpetrators were to acknowledge their own pain andguilt, they could, in turn, also heal themselves, “stop blaming the people they harmed, […] and begin[assuming] responsibility for having harmed them.”[23]

On the eve of the Jewish Holocaust, when an aide had noted to Hitler that the world would not allowthe Nazis to conduct a genocide against the Jewish people, he replied, “Who, after all, remembers the

annihilation of the Armenians?,” suggesting that he could expect to get away with his obliteration of the Jews without any intervention on his inhumane actions and with the guarantee of impunity, as hadthe Turkish government in 1915-1917.[24] In the wake of the commemoration of the centenary of theArmenian Genocide on April 24, Armenians around the world hope that the entirety of theinternational community will fully acknowledge the Armenian Genocide, and in the process, deter those who continue to partake in Hitler’s and other genocidists’ thoughts and repair the wound fromwhich so many have bled red, blue, and orange.

More simply, we are forced to live as an unwelcome minority in the West and the Middle

East and our right to transmit our identity is consistently maligned in both cases by the

"host" societies.

Fatma Sarikaya •

Just like the Turks who used to live in what is now the Armenian Republic or the

Caucasus in general were wiped out by the Armenians in large numbers felt since

those tumultous years of 1900... And they were not even the minority - but the

majority...

Peace cannot be achieved, until the Armenians' hatred of anyone and anything

Turkish subsides down.

• •

Jack Kalpakian •

In your world, we Armenians must be forced to pay for what Balkan and

Russian governments did to you, and not only that you invent a Turkish

minority in Armenia that did not exist to deny us even the small rump left.

Thank you for showing this to the whole world here.

Most educated read real historian the world already know the truth

that is why 100 years you struggle to prove something no one but few

ignorant uninformed or have different agenda believes your lies or

pretend to believe it for the Armenian lobby money, you are trying to

buy a lie, false witness, that is why no real cour t proceedings gave

you the okay. I think you guys told the lie so often now you really

started to believe it LOL

OHH I am sorry they are not Israel, attacking PA for what the

Germans did to Turks, many Armenians armed and koin the side with

Greeks and open the worst front when Turks were figting in 5, the one

inside the country, how is that many Armenians stayed after the war,do you know how? bcz Turkish neighbors told to Turkish soildiers

returning from war after winning the battle found their famlies

massacared by the Armenian rebels, were so angry took revenge but

the ones stayed in Turkey was protected by testomony of Turks

beighborrs saying please do not hurt this framliy they never join in the

killing, and Turks did not hram them, as you hear your grandma and

their faulire of making ood in America was told lies to you as a child

why they are poor and couldn't make it in new land was the excuse

Turks were the blame, we have grandmothers to so we read real

history, yes they killed 500,000 Turks and now they lied, logical

terms, after living with armenians for 700 years no one wakes up one

day and says lets kill this group of people, especially when Turks

allowed in their empire all kinds of religions and freedom to pray to any

god they may , that is why when they had Jerusalem they never

destroyed the religious quarters that included armeinan quarters, and

they gave the Jews right to pray there also, so your grandparents are

liars l am sorry , truth is not what they say as they are tow sides to a

coin, get with your life save your next generations, old hatreds will

always be more decremental than it is worth,

Also click on this link to see the Armeniansoldiers who exterminated the

entire Turkish population of the village of KIRLIKOVA, my namesake:

www.ethocide.com. My father, as a one-year-old baby was the sole survivor,

perhaps because the Armenian murderers thought they had already killed

him, too, and left him under a heap of Turkish corpses for dead. This is "the

other side", the ugly truth, about the (bogus) Armenian Genocide, that the

Armenians are hiding from public. If the public knows about Armenian

terrorism, revolts, treason, and territorial demands, then that would not be agenocide, would it?

Armenian thesis depends on forgeries and falsified documents

(http://www.ataa.org/reference/..., http://www.tc-america.org/scho..., http://tc-

america.org/files/ne....

One of these falsifications is a quote attributed to Adolf Hitler in which he

purportedly responded to a query about his planned annihilation of European

Jewry, by quipping: ‘Who, after all, speaks today of the extermination of the

Armenians?’, on August 22, 1939, a few days prior to his invasion of Poland (Obersalzberg

speeches).

Contrary to Richard Hovannisian and other Armenians, the Nuremberg transcripts through

their preservation of U.S.-29 (798-PS), U.S.-30 (1014-PS), and the notes of

Admiral Boehm (which are corroborated by the relevant passages from the diary

of General Halder), in no way authenticate the infamous Hitler quote. On the

contrary, by establishing the actual texts of Hitler’s Obersalzberg speeches

they demonstrate that the statement is conspicuously absent from Hitler’s

remarks. The assertion that Hitler made a reference to the Armenians in any

context whatsoever is without foundation. (Heath W Lowry, The U.S. Congress and

As a Grand son of the Genocide survivor, have to heal, but how, if Turks deny it, and theyalso have been forced to deny by the Turkish Constitution (article 301 "insulting

Turkishness)?

Some Turkish citizens are speaking about it and have been imprisoned for that, mainly not

Turkish Nationals, just like Journalist Hrant Dink (Armenian), who eventually have been

murdered in cold blood.

Anyway, Thank you for your work and a great research on the subject!

This is the biggest lie ever told, arMenians revolted against their neighbors (Turks)whom

they lived many 100 of years with very little problems took up arms with help of

Russians(promised them their own province such as Turkmenistan, Georgia so on) killed

400 to 500,000 Turkish women children and the old because the young and the strong was

armed and sent to front lines where Turks were fighting 5 fronts

,British,Greeks,French,Italians and north Russian, after a long battle loosing many men

Turks won their independence from these invaders. returned home and could not find their

family they left behind, most were killed some were burnt to death in locked mosques .many

Turks took revenge that is true but the arMenians did not do the killing were witness by their

Turkish neighbors we unharmed and many lives in Turkey this day,after new Turkish

government put a stop to revenge killing and they did but could not granted their safety as

Turkish anger was enormous, who wouldn't be coming home after a long battle seen your

family massacred, never the less Turkish government told them they better relocate

because they could not put one soldier front of every arMenian to green tee their safety, 1

million left for Syria and France where not they scream bloody murder and brained washed

the young arMains to hate the Turks

and this lie spread to hold this as a bargaining tool by certain western countries, you know

as long as dead are Muslims west have no problem with it,

arMenians grandfathers have no one else to blame but their own misconduct, 100 years ago

they started to kill and they got what they deserve as their time allowed, now they cry foul,

sorry you keep telling this lie to people who do not know the truth, most intelligent informed

educated people know the truth that is why you still struggle 100 years to prove something

is not there, GOOD LUCK

Marcus 77, Are you kidding with the readers? Your comment starts with a distorted

historical reality. You should read your history and need to learn that the Armenians

were not the neighbours, but citizens of Ottoman Empire and they revolted against

their state.
