Successive TURKISH Governments of the 1915-17
Stanley Cohen, Professor. of Criminology at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, 18, Oct. 1999 The nearest successful example of “{size}*{size:14pt}{color:blue}collective denial{color}{size}*{size:11pt}” in the modern era is the 80 years of official denial by successive Turkish governments of the 1915-17 Genocide against the Armenians in which some 1.5 million people lost their lives. This denial has been sustained by deliberate propaganda lying and cover-ups, forging documents, suppression of archives, and bribing scholars. The West, especially the United States, has colluded by not referring to the massacres in the United Nations, ignoring memorial ceremonies, and surrendering to Turkish pressure in NATO and other strategic arenas of cooperation. Yet what should have also been mentioned is that, along with our century’s first Genocide.
